Finely chop celery, purple onion, dill pickles, and hard boiled eggs. Combine in medium-sized mixing bowl.
Drain and flake tuna. Add to chopped vegetable mixture.
Add mayonnaise, black pepper, fresh lemon juice, hot sauce and salt. Mix until ingredients are incorporated. For best flavor, chill tuna salad for 1 hour before serving.
Choose a light tuna packed in water.
I recommend Duke's Mayonnaise.
