EGGS:

- Dijon mustard provides acidity and a little sharpness. A little tablespoon keeps the filling vibrant without being overbearing. It pairs perfectly with the yolks and mayonnaise.
LEMON JUICE:
- Lemon juice improves the taste of the eggs. It cuts through the richness while keeping the filling fresh. Use the bottled juice can if necessary.
CELERY:
- Celery adds crispness to the soft filling. It’s fresh flavor pairs well with tuna. Chop it finely so that the texture remains balanced.
DILL PICKLE:
- Dill pickle provides tang and salt. It adds interest to the filling while also providing some crunch. Keep the pieces small so that the flavors mix well.
PARSLEY:
- Parsley provides the fresh taste & color in the dish. It lightens the filling and goes nicely with the other ingredients. Flat-leaf parsley is great for a fresh flavor.
SALT & PEPPER:
- Salt and pepper increase the flavor in the filling. Add carefully to avoid it from becoming overly salty. Freshly ground pepper adds a subtle kick.
