How long should I boil my eggs?

For medium-hard boiled eggs, submerge your eggs in boiling water for 12 minutes.

Is there anything I can substitute the chopped celery with?

We’ve tried both of these swaps and they’ve turned out great.

• 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
• 3 tablespoons of finely chopped bread and butter pickles OR sweet pickle relish

Picnic-friendly

If you’re serving this tuna salad at a summer picnic or party, you may be wondering how you can keep it cold. Simply add ice cubes to a larger bowl than the one you’re serving your tuna salad in and set your serving bowl on the bed of ice. 

6 Low-Carb Options to Try:
