Tuna Salad

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the boiling water. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Use the slotted spoon to remove the eggs to the bowl of ice water; let cool completely, about 10 minutes. Peel the eggs and chop.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, bell pepper, onion, gherkins, jalapeño, and eggs. Stir in the mayonnaise, mustard, and pickle juice. Add the salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed; be sure not to under salt.

Step 3

Serve on bread with lettuce or with crackers.
