Healthy Tuna Salad

So you might be wondering why my Blog's name includes the word "fusion"?  Well, I spent a majority of my childhood in Taiwan.  Many of the things I cook tend to have an Asian influence in it, like this one.  I came across this recipe because I wanted something quick and easy to make, that was also healthy.  Instead of creamy mayonnaise, this tuna salad uses fresh and flavorful ingredients!  Here's what you need:

1 can of tuna (in water)
2 eggs
salt
pepper
green onion

Aside from these staples, here are some other things you could add to it, depending on what's in your fridge:

corn
celery
jalepeno
carrots
peas

Basically all you have to do is cook the eggs, drain the tuna, chop everything into tiny bits, and mix, taste, and enjoy!



(I added corn and jalepeno to this one!)


This tuna salad might not be the typical spreadable kind.  I like to be careful about not overcooking my eggs because it could turn out quite dry if the egg yolk is overcooked.  By mashing the egg yolk when mixing, it makes this tuna salad a little more spreadable.  Otherwise, it also works perfectly as a side dish or in lettuce wraps!
