This classic salad easily transforms into a lunch wrap. Swap tuna for cooked salmon or chicken if you have leftovers. Savoury Greek yogurt spread and eggs provide an extra boost of protein.
Hard-cooked versus hard-boiled eggs
What’s the difference? For tender, less rubbery eggs, hard-cook eggs. Fill saucepan with water and add eggs. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes. To hard-boil eggs, boil for 8 minutes. Drain, cool, and peel.
