    **TUNA SALAD**
    pouched or canned tuna, drained (at least 3 ounces, 85g per sandwich)
    mayonnaise
    sweet pickle relish
    chopped shallots
    sliced or chopped celery (or cucumber if you don't like celery)
    garlic powder
    salt
    pepper
    bread and other fixings (lettuce is nice, and maybe sliced tomatoes)
    Combine all the ingredients and taste until you like the proportions. If you use the cucumber, mix the texture to be a little too tight and dry, because the cucumber will release some water as the salad sits in the fridge.
    **EGG SALAD**
    eggs (two per sandwich is ample)
    mayonnaise
    mustard
    sweet pickle relish
    chopped shallots
    sliced or chopped celery (or cucumber if you don't like celery)
    salt
    pepper
    bread and other fixings (lettuce is nice, and maybe sliced tomatoes)
    Bring a pot of water to a boil, gently drop in the eggs, cover and cook them for 14 minutes. Drain and cool the eggs completely with cool running water or an ice water bath. Peel the eggs, cut them in half, push yolks out into a mixing bowl and mash them up. Dice the whites.
    Combine all the ingredients and taste until you like the proportions. If you use the cucumber, mix the texture to be a little too tight and dry, because the cucumber will release some water as the salad sits in the fridge.
    **CHICKEN SALAD WITH MASCARPONE DRESSING**
    1 pint (2 cups, 500mL) cream
    1 lemon
    1 3 lb (1.3 kilo) grocery store rotisserie chicken (this will make at least six sandwiches)
    grapes, cut into quarters (maybe a dozen)
    sweet corn, cut off the cob (one ear should be enough)
    nuts, shelled and roughly chopped or crushed (I like pistachios)
    green onions, sliced (one standard bunch should do it)
    fresh parsley (very optional)
    salt
    pepper
    bread and other fixings (lettuce is nice, and maybe sliced tomatoes)
    Make the dressing by pouring the cream in a sauce pan, bring it to a bare simmer and juice in the lemon (I use the whole thing, but you want it less lemony, use half). Stir and you should see the cream noticeably thicken very quickly. Cool it all the way down in the fridge before using.
    Pick all the meat off the chicken in little chunks. Up to you if you put in the skin - I usually leave out the really flabby bits. Combine all the ingredients and taste until you like the proportions.

    For salads I recommend using the mexican McCormick mayo(the one with lime juice). They sell it everywhere and the taste is amazing for tuna
    Also, if you don’t want a Sanwhich with this mexicans eat this too but with tostadas. Only difference is we add thinly sliced jalapeños and tomatoes.

    In case it helps somebody else. Instead of draining the water from the pot when boiling eggs (the steam can be painful), just put it under the faucet and start pouring cold water in there, it will take a few seconds longer to circulate out the hot water. Another tip is when peeling the boiled eggs, once you open a section of shell, peel under running water, the water will make its way between the shell and the egg, making it detach easier

    Adam, in the South, we also add a little vinegar to our egg salad or deviled eggs. Never added sweet pickle relish to eggs or egg salad (but maybe a sprinkle of sugar), but definitely do use sweet pickles for the tuna salad. For the chicken salad, rotisserie chicken is good, even better in my opinion is smoked chicken. One of my favorite things is using the leftover smoked turkey after Thanksgiving to make turkey salad.... making me hungry thinking about it. I see you went creative on the chicken salad.

      When my eggs are boiled, I like to put them in a big bowl with ice water, then grab each one and pull off at least a dime-sized piece of the shell (make sure to get the membrane, too) then put them back in the water for several minutes. What happens is the egg shrinks away from the shell as it cools. The cold water is pulled inside the shell, and you can usually peel the shell off in two or three pieces a few minutes later.

      most people use too high heat, cut the onions into slices bigger than you want, and litterally just be patient and give it time, the water will boil out and then the sugars will slowly caramelise and they'll go soft, you can add sugar if you want but it's important not to let anything burn. People blast it with heat and it just blackens the sugar in the onions. Just takes about 10-15 mins to get really good caramelised onions, hope this helps :D

      Start them out with a little water in the pan. You have to get them soft first before you can start to caramelize them, and steaming them is way quicker than saute-ing over low heat.
      You can also throw in a tiny, tiny pinch of baking soda to speed up the process, but I think some purists don't like doing that.

      Idk about you guys, but I grew up on the upper end of broke, and canned tuna has always been a very affordable way to get decent protein. That's likely why you had it often as a child if you grew up with not a whole lot of money. I could see families with more money not even bothering with canned tuna though, because it has some "off" flavors, and tuna has mercury in it, so those could be reasons to think it's weird
