Instructions

Mise En Place
Gather measured ingredients and set out a saucepan, knife, cutting board, colander, mixing bowl, fork, spoon, and serving bowl. · 5 min

Boil Eggs
Boil eggs in a saucepan, keeping them fully covered with water, for 10 minutes after the water reaches a steady boil. · 10 min

Flake Tuna
Drain tuna thoroughly in a colander, then break it into moist flakes with a fork without mashing it into paste. · 3 min
What to look for: The tuna looks loose and flaky with no pooling liquid.
Dice Vegetables
Dice red bell pepper and mixed cucumbers into small cubes so the texture matches the corn and egg. · 8 min

Combine Salad
Combine drained corn, tuna flakes, diced egg, red bell pepper, and mixed cucumber in a large mixing bowl. · 3 min
What to look for: The bowl shows an even mix of yellow corn, egg, tuna, pepper, and cucumber.
Dress Salad
Drizzle olive oil over the salad, season with salt and black pepper, and fold gently to keep the tuna flakes visible. · 3 min
What to look for: The salad is lightly glossy and still chunky, not crushed.
Chill And Serve
Fold in chopped fresh dill, chill briefly, then serve cold in a bowl for a quick Polish supper. · 20 min
What to look for: Fresh dill is evenly scattered and the salad looks cold, glossy, and neatly mixed.

Ingredient substitutions

Tuna

Canned tuna in oil: Drain well and reduce the olive oil slightly if the tuna is very oily.

Egg

Canned corn: Use only when avoiding egg; the salad becomes sweeter and less rich.

Bell pepper

Cucumber: Keeps the crunch but makes the salad less sweet.

Cucumber

Red bell pepper: Use if mixed cucumber is unavailable; the salad will be sweeter and less briny.

Corn

Red bell pepper: Keeps color and crunch but removes the characteristic sweet corn flavor.

Dill

Fresh dill: Use another fresh bunch if the first one is limp or lacks aroma.
