    Ingredient Notes

    • Eggs: Eggs are obviously the star of the show in a deviled egg recipe. Below you will find my tips for how to cook the perfect hard boiled egg. You can also use a Dash egg cooker for quick and easy, perfect eggs every time. (Try these Bacon Guacamole Deviled Eggs)
    • Tuna: For this tuna salad deviled egg recipe, I prefer to use albacore tuna, canned in water. (Try this Avocado Tuna Salad Recipe)
    • Onions: This recipe calls for green onion as well as red onion. You could also substitute chives and shallots.
    • Mayonnaise: The mayo adds a nice creamy element. You could also use greek yogurt or even sour cream. It is also delicious made with this Roasted Garlic Mayo.
    • Relish: For these Tuna Deviled Eggs I used dill pickle relish. You can also use chopped pickles, or even sweet pickle relish.
    • Garlic powder: You can sub the garlic powder with one clove of fresh minced garlic.
    • Paprika: You can use either a smoked or a sweet paprika in this recipe.
    • Hot sauce: Use any hot sauce you prefer here. Like a little extra kick? Add more!

    How to make Tuna Deviled Eggs

    Step By Step Instructions

    STEP 1: Slice the eggs in half, pop the yolks out into a large mixing bowl and fork mash.

    STEP 2: To the mixing bowl, add the tuna, half of the green onions, mayo, relish, red onion, dill, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

    STEP 3: Put mixture into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag.  Squeeze the mixture to one corner of the bag and snip off the corner of the bag.  Use this to pipe the mixture back into the egg halves.

    STEP 4: Top each egg with remaining green onions.

    How to Make Perfect Hardboiled Eggs

    How do you make the perfect hardboiled eggs?

    This is how I make perfect hard-boiled eggs: Place the eggs in a large saucepan with cold water. Add enough water so that the eggs are fully submerged. Over high heat, bring the water to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Submerge the eggs in a cold-water bath before peeling.

    Recipe Tips and Variations

    • Storage: Store leftover Tuna Deviled Eggs in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
    • Use salmon: These are also delicious using a canned salmon. They are also delicious with shrimp or crab.
    • Use chicken: Change things up entirely and use canned or shredded chicken
    • Add avocado: These tuna deviled eggs are also delicious with some cubed avocado added
    • Add celery: For a nice crunchy element, add one rib of chopped celery
    • Add capers: Add a nice briny element by tossing in a tablespoon of capers.
    • Add fresh herbs: add more herbs like parsley, chives, tarragon, and more dill.
