Tuna Salad

I  love tuna salad, but I usually don't remember to get all of the ingredients, so I never make it.  I use 3 hard boiled eggs (it's a lot of egg, but that's how I love it), 2 stalks celery chopped, and 2 cans drained white tuna.  I only use white tuna, basically just because.  Eating meat out of a can, in general, weirds me out a little and I don't like seeing too much color.  It's just one of my many quirks.  But I love tuna salad, so just the white meat for me!  I topped all of this with a squirt (about 1T) of Grey Poupon Hearty Brown Mustard (this is my new favorite dijon), a few quirts of mayo (just depends on how mayo-y you like yours), a splash of lemon juice, and salt and pepper.  Don't underestimate the power of the salt and pepper.  I made this for years without the salt and pepper and thought it was good.  Then after watching the Food Network for years and years and watching them salt and pepper everything, I decided to give it a try.  It really does bring out all of the great flavors and also help to meld them together into deliciousness!  I stuffed mine into a whole wheat pita for lunch today, but usually it's just between 2 slices of plain old wheat bread.

On a side note...apparently my kids and the babysitting kids love honeydew!  I bought one yesterday and my son and I cut it up this morning.  I gave the kids their lunch and I didn't hear 1 peep while I got mine together.  They were all eating leftovers, so I don't think it was their main dish that made them so happy!
