  • If you want to swap out the same old Olivier salad at your next gathering, this recipe is for you. It's very simple and every bit as tasty as Olivier. And if you think it's only for holidays, think again — tuna salad is an everyday kind of dish. Start by finely chopping the onion. If the onion is too sharp, soak it briefly: cover it with boiling water for 10 minutes, then drain and rinse in cold water, which mellows the flavor. Hard-boil the eggs, peel them, and grate them on the coarse side. Grate the raw carrot on the fine side. Open the can of tuna and drain off the liquid, then put the tuna on a plate and mash it with a fork. In a salad bowl (or just a plate), combine the fish, onion, eggs, and carrot. Season with salt to taste and mix well. Stir in the mayonnaise, mix once more, and the tuna salad is ready. To finish, garnish with fresh herbs — you've got plenty of options here: parsley, dill, or lettuce leaves. That's it — bon appétit.
