Tuna salad with boiled potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, onions, mayonnaise, and salt

The recipe is as follows:

  • Boil the potatoes 25-30 minutes or until fork-tender, peel off outside layer of skin.
  • Drain potatoes and let them cool.
  • Slice eggs in half and boil for 10-12 minutes before peeling off-shell. Cut egg into halves again after cooling down the eggs.
  • Chop onions into small pieces before adding them to a bowl with mayonnaise, salt, and egg halves–whisk together until even consistency of ingredients is achieved.
  • Add tuna salad to a bowl containing mayonnaise mixture and combine excluding anything that’s not mixed in yet–add boiled potatoes on top of the mixture before covering with plastic wrap or tight lid.
  • Store in refrigerator until ready to eat…enjoy! (Tuna salad can be used as a spread for sandwiches if desired)

Healthy and full of flavor

This recipe is great because it’s healthy and full of flavor! I enjoy eating this meal because the ingredients go well together. It also gives me lots of energy which allows me to stay active throughout each day; I recommend this recipe for anyone who wants to maintain a healthy lifestyle or follow a low-calorie diet plan. The only downside with this menu item is that there isn’t anything big enough to snack on afterward since tuna salad alone won’t fully satisfy your appetite, so you may want something else to eat later or try some other nutritious ingredients such as apple slices or grapes.

“Tuna is a complete source of protein which can help build muscle.” I like this quote because it gives the reader an example of how something as simple as tuna (with additional ingredients) can be healthy. This is important because there are many different types of healthy food that people aren’t sure about. People who read that they should eat more tuna may be persuaded to do so if they know why – specifically, it’s good for building muscle. This is also helpful to give examples of other types of food, such as the sandwiches listed above.

It was helpful to me because I wanted advice on what to eat as a healthy student-athlete.

There you have it! It’s as easy as that to make this low-calorie meal idea which is delicious and filling. If you’re hungry or perhaps craving something else to eat, try some apple slices or some grapes since they are healthy snacks that provide you with some energy.
