Method

  1. 1

    Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 9‑10 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Eggs reach a firm set in the simmering water. Start in cold water as directed.

  2. 2

    Remove the eggs, run under cold water, peel, and separate the yolks from the whites; set the yolks aside.

  3. 3

    Drain the canned tuna thoroughly using a fine‑mesh sieve or paper towel.

  4. 4

    Finely dice the celery and dill pickle, and slice the spring onion thinly.

  5. 5

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, drained tuna, diced celery, sliced spring onion, and diced dill pickle.

  6. 6

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yoghurt, Dijon mustard, mashed egg yolks, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Yogurt and mustard dressing is smooth. Mash the yolks through it until no lumps remain.

  7. 7

    Pour the yoghurt‑mustard dressing over the tuna mixture and stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Dressing coats tuna and vegetables evenly. Fold gently to keep the mixture textured.

  8. 8

    Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  9. 9

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 10 minutes to let flavors meld.

  10. 10

    Serve the tuna egg salad on toasted sourdough, in a sandwich, atop crackers, or straight from the bowl.
