How to make tuna and corn salad? Prepare the products. Take any tuna, suitable both in your own juice and in oil, which, by the way, can be used to season lettuce. Cucumbers are suitable for salted or pickled. I took dill greens, you can take another to taste. Sometimes bulb or salad onions are added to such a salad.

Gently open the tin of canned corn. Roll the corn on a sieve to make the glass extra liquid. Put the required amount of corn in the prepared salad utensils.

Do the cutting of the rest of the products. The salad will look beautiful and neat if you cut all the ingredients into the same size and shape in pieces (for example, cubes). Extract salted or pickled cucumbers from the jar and cut into small cubes. Add the chopped cucumbers to the salad to the corn.

Boil the eggs. How to boil hard-boiled eggs? To prevent the eggs from cracking when cooking, put them in cold water and set them to cook on a small heat. Cook the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then cover with cold water and cool. It is better to clean the shell from a sharp temperature difference. Peel them from the shells, then cut into small cubes and add to the salad.

Gently open the tin of canned tuna, drain the oil or juice. Arbitrarily cut or disassemble tuna into fibers. Add the tuna to the salad to the previously prepared ingredients.

Rinse fresh greens under running cold water and dry. Then finely chop and add to the salad.

Add mayonnaise, salt, black ground pepper to the salad to taste and mix. Be careful with salt, mayonnaise is already quite salty, do not salt.

Serve the finished salad with tuna and canned corn immediately after it is cooked. This is a dish on its own that can be served for dinner or used as one of the snacks.

Mayonnaise is better to cook on its own. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise. Also, not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt can be used as a dressing. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.

Shake the tin before buying. The more fluid in it, the less fish.
