Description

This is my Mom's recipe for tuna salad which happens to contain no mayonnaise. Being Catholic, we had it every Friday night for dinner.

Ingredients

5 eggs
1 1/4 cups bread and butter pickles
2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained
3 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sweet pickle juice

Directions

1 Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water and cool under cold running water. Peel.
2 Place the eggs and pickles into a food processor; pulse until roughly chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in tuna and celery. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the pickle juice until thoroughly blended.
