COLD MACARONI AND TUNA SALAD



Cold Macaroni and Tuna Salad image

This is a simple and good recipe that is great served on those hot summer days and can even be prepared the night before so that it is ready and cold when you come home from work the next day. My husband never ate this until we got married and in the summer he requests it every other week. You can substitute chicken for the tuna and it is great that way also. I serve it on a leaf of lettuce, for looks, with an assortment of crackers. Happy eating!

SUMMER PASTA SALAD WITH TUNA



Summer Pasta Salad With Tuna image

This is the quintessential summer comfort food. When it was too hot to cook or eat a heavy dinner, my mother would often make this as a light summer meal. The leftovers taste great the next day! NOTE: Many of the spices can be adjusted to taste. I like to experiment with new flavors, like adding dill or curry powder. (cooking time is boiling the pasta and eggs, while prep time is chopping and mixing)

Categories     Tuna

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 ounces elbow macaroni (or other small pasta, shells, radiatore, bowties)
3 (6 ounce) cans tuna
4 hardboiled egg, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced small
1 small onion, diced small
4 -5 tablespoons mayonnaise (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
3 -4 dashes hot sauce (we like Frank's Red Hot)

Steps:

  • Boil pasta as directed until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. (I also boil the eggs at this time and rinse then in cold water when finished).
  • In a large salad bowl, combine chopped eggs, diced onion, celery, mayo, lemon, spices, relish, and hot sauce.
  • Drain the tuna well and flake into the bowl.
  • Make sure the pasta is relatively dry (a little water clinging to them keeps the salad moist and cuts down the mayo needed).
  • Thoroughly mix the salad and chill if desired.
  • Serve in bowls or on a bed of lettuce.

COLD TUNA OR CHICKEN MACARONI SALAD



Cold Tuna or Chicken Macaroni Salad image

Even the most basic Macaroni Salad can be heavenly...until people start messing with the "formula" by doing vile things such as adding peas, cheese or worse still, Miracle Whip! I much prefer mayonnaise and assiduously leave out the peas and cheese...In addition I've lightened the original recipe a smidge with lower fat ingredients and whole wheat pasta...Serve over lettuce.
