Ingredients
2 (6oz) cans albacore tuna in water1 hard boiled egg3 tbsp Kraft Light Mayo (start out with 2tbsp, add 3rd if needed; 3 are included in nutrition info)1 tsp yellow mustard4 tbsp Mt. Olive No Sugar Added Sweet Relish (use dill relish if preferred)1 large apple, I prefer Granny Smith2 medium stalks celery, finely diced1/4 cup finely diced onion of your choice (or 1tsp onion powder)1 tsp garlic powder1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
Directions
In a small pan cover egg with cold water, heat on medium-high and bring to a boil. After it' s boiling, set the timer for 6 minutes.

While egg cooks, place a colander in the sink and empty into it 2 (6oz) cans of albacore tuna and the relish. Drain extra well, using potato masher to remove all the liquid.

While tuna is draining, add mayo, mustard, spices, celery and onion into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Cool, peel and chop hardboiled egg, and add to bowl. I prefer using an electric blender to evenly mix all the spices. Save the apple for last so it doesn't turn brown: cut unpeeled, washed apple into thin slices and dice into the seasoning mix; blend immediately so all surfaces of apple pieces are covered.

Remove well-drained tuna and relish from the colander. Add to the mixing bowl and blend, breaking up the chunks of tuna. Vary the amount of mayo used to taste; I like mine firm and not sloppy.

Makes 5 servings, each nearly 1/2 cup.
