    **TUNA SALAD**
    pouched or canned tuna, drained (at least 3 ounces, 85g per sandwich)
    mayonnaise
    sweet pickle relish
    chopped shallots
    sliced or chopped celery (or cucumber if you don't like celery)
    garlic powder
    salt
    pepper
    bread and other fixings (lettuce is nice, and maybe sliced tomatoes)
    Combine all the ingredients and taste until you like the proportions. If you use the cucumber, mix the texture to be a little too tight and dry, because the cucumber will release some water as the salad sits in the fridge.
    **EGG SALAD**
    eggs (two per sandwich is ample)
    mayonnaise
    mustard
    sweet pickle relish
    chopped shallots
    sliced or chopped celery (or cucumber if you don't like celery)
    salt
    pepper
    bread and other fixings (lettuce is nice, and maybe sliced tomatoes)
    Bring a pot of water to a boil, gently drop in the eggs, cover and cook them for 14 minutes. Drain and cool the eggs completely with cool running water or an ice water bath. Peel the eggs, cut them in half, push yolks out into a mixing bowl and mash them up. Dice the whites.
    Combine all the ingredients and taste until you like the proportions. If you use the cucumber, mix the texture to be a little too tight and dry, because the cucumber will release some water as the salad sits in the fridge.
    **CHICKEN SALAD WITH MASCARPONE DRESSING**
    1 pint (2 cups, 500mL) cream
    1 lemon
    1 3 lb (1.3 kilo) grocery store rotisserie chicken (this will make at least six sandwiches)
    grapes, cut into quarters (maybe a dozen)
    sweet corn, cut off the cob (one ear should be enough)
    nuts, shelled and roughly chopped or crushed (I like pistachios)
    green onions, sliced (one standard bunch should do it)
    fresh parsley (very optional)
    salt
    pepper
    bread and other fixings (lettuce is nice, and maybe sliced tomatoes)
    Make the dressing by pouring the cream in a sauce pan, bring it to a bare simmer and juice in the lemon (I use the whole thing, but you want it less lemony, use half). Stir and you should see the cream noticeably thicken very quickly. Cool it all the way down in the fridge before using.
    Pick all the meat off the chicken in little chunks. Up to you if you put in the skin - I usually leave out the really flabby bits. Combine all the ingredients and taste until you like the proportions.

    In case it helps somebody else. Instead of draining the water from the pot when boiling eggs (the steam can be painful), just put it under the faucet and start pouring cold water in there, it will take a few seconds longer to circulate out the hot water. Another tip is when peeling the boiled eggs, once you open a section of shell, peel under running water, the water will make its way between the shell and the egg, making it detach easier

      The best way to peel them easily is to as soon they are cooked, throw then in cool water an with the back of a knife crack the shell all the way around. Submerged them in the cool water again and wait 2 min. They peel super easy.

    Adam, in the South, we also add a little vinegar to our egg salad or deviled eggs. Never added sweet pickle relish to eggs or egg salad (but maybe a sprinkle of sugar), but definitely do use sweet pickles for the tuna salad. For the chicken salad, rotisserie chicken is good, even better in my opinion is smoked chicken. One of my favorite things is using the leftover smoked turkey after Thanksgiving to make turkey salad.... making me hungry thinking about it. I see you went creative on the chicken salad.

  • @bobshackelford3935

    For tuna and chicken salad (I've never made egg salad), I dice sweet pickle (I don't use store bought relish), a diced fresh de-stemmed/de-seeded jalapeno, some diced pickled jalapeno, a few boiled then diced eggs, diced sweet onion, and diced banana peppers, plus mayo and pepper. Add a table spoon of sweet pickle juice and banana pepper juice too to taste and texture.

    After you dump the hot water you should roll your eggs around vigorously in the pan to crack the shells. That way when you chill them with cold running water, the water will get inside the cracks and help separate the shells from the eggs.

      When my eggs are boiled, I like to put them in a big bowl with ice water, then grab each one and pull off at least a dime-sized piece of the shell (make sure to get the membrane, too) then put them back in the water for several minutes. What happens is the egg shrinks away from the shell as it cools. The cold water is pulled inside the shell, and you can usually peel the shell off in two or three pieces a few minutes later.

That's likely why you had it often as a child if you grew up with not a whole lot of money.

      most people use too high heat, cut the onions into slices bigger than you want, and litterally just be patient and give it time, the water will boil out and then the sugars will slowly caramelise and they'll go soft, you can add sugar if you want but it's important not to let anything burn. People blast it with heat and it just blackens the sugar in the onions. Just takes about 10-15 mins to get really good caramelised onions, hope this helps :D

      Start them out with a little water in the pan. You have to get them soft first before you can start to caramelize them, and steaming them is way quicker than saute-ing over low heat.

And she would grate onion into the tuna, and add a bit of lemon juice for extra tartness. She used Hellmann’s mayonnaise or Kraft because it was before any of us knew what Dukes mayonnaise was. Basically, no sweet mayo… It had to also have a tartness to it. To this day, I crave that Tangy & tart tuna salad.

    Protip for sandwich salads: do away with your notion of what is and is not a sandwich and eat them open-faced. That way there's no way to squeeze the salad out, and plus you can use that open surface to garnish with some paprika or herbs or extra onion, or really anything you want that'll pretty up the top. You could even squeeze some lemon juice, which would make the dressing runny if you mixed it in and make the bread soggy if you added it to a closed sandwich. Lastly, if you're on a diet, which many eaters of sandwich salads are, you can skip on the second slice entirely, or of course top each slice with half as much salad to get the same total amount of bread and salad with greatly increased stability and surface area for garnishing. If you prefer a roll to sliced bread, slice vertically into the top instead of horizontally and eat it like a hot dog.

      I prefer open-faced as well. I also like to top off my chicken or tuna salad with a few slices of cheddar and broil the whole thing in a toaster oven. You could call that an open-faced chicken/tuna melt.

    Being from the south, I actually didn't know that sweet relish was uncommon other places in the US.

      Im from Michigan and its pretty common here. Not sure if it really is a Southern thing or if its just certain pockets of the US.

      Sweet relish is definitely a thing fairly common in Indiana at least, though I'd say primarily for hotdogs and I hadn't ever seen it in egg / tuna salad. A lot of Indiana is in the Chicago cultural orbit so lots of places have Chicago dogs, which use a special kind of sweet relish.

      It's common in most of the USA. I don't care for it, I prefer dill or India relish, but usually I can only find sweet. [On both coasts and the upper Midwest.] Non-sweet pickle relish is a rare find.
