Ingredients
  

Base de la salade
  • 1 can tuna 200 g, drained
  • 150 g sweet corn drained
  • 3 pieces hard-boiled eggs cut into quarters
  • 1 medium tomato cut into small cubes
  • 0.5 piece cucumber cut into cubes
Sauce et assaisonnement
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
  • 1 pinch black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 small handful fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan of boiling water and cook for 9 to 10 minutes until hard-boiled. Transfer them immediately to cold water, peel them, and cut them into quarters or large pieces. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  2. Open the can of tuna and drain it well to remove excess liquid. Place the tuna in a large mixing bowl and gently flake it with a fork.
  3. Add the drained corn, diced tomato, and cubed cucumber to the bowl. Mix gently to distribute the vegetables evenly without crushing them.
  4. Add the pieces of hard-boiled eggs and mix carefully so the yolks remain slightly intact.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently mix until everything is evenly coated and creamy.
  7. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the salad. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
  8. Serve chilled on its own, over lettuce, or with fresh bread.

Notes

For a lighter version, replace part or all of the mayonnaise with plain yogurt or fromage blanc. You can also add avocado slices, olives, or lettuce to vary the flavors. For extra crunch, sprinkle sunflower seeds, chopped nuts, or croutons on top. To transform the salad into a more filling meal, add cooked potatoes, rice, or cold pasta.
