Ingredients
  

  • 1 (5 ounce) can albacore tuna in water drained
  • ¼ cup onion small diced
  • ¼ cup dill pickle small diced
  • ¼ cup mayo
  • 2 large eggs, hard boiled small diced
  • ¼-1/2 teaspoon salt
  • to taste pepper
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl add the drained tuna.  Using a fork, break up the tuna to smaller pieces.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients and mix well.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Enjoy!

Notes

To make perfect boiled eggs every time start with adding your eggs to a small pot, cover with cold water.  The water should be at least an inch over the top of the eggs.  
Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil.  Once the water begins to boil cover the pot and pull it off the heat. 
Set a timer for 12 minutes.  Once the 12 minutes are up, drain off the water and cover the eggs with ice and cold water.  This will stop the cooking.  After 5 to 10 minutes, you can peel the eggs.
