Chop a small amount of sweet Vidalia onion into small pieces.

Peel the boiled eggs and chop them into small pieces.

Add the chopped eggs to the tuna and onion mixture, being careful not to break the yolks too much.

Add a pinch of sugar to the mixture.

Add mayonnaise to the mixture, starting with a small amount and adding more as needed for desired consistency.

Add mustard (or lemon juice/vinegar if preferred) to the mixture.

Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Mix all ingredients together until well combined, being gentle with the eggs.

Add a small amount of sweet relish and mix again, tasting for seasoning.

Clean the bowl's edges with a paper towel for presentation.
