MACARONI TUNA SALAD



Macaroni Tuna Salad image

This macaroni salad is great for lunch on its own, if you don't feel like cooking on those hot summer days. It's also a wonderful side for grilled food. I have perfected it -- after making many different types of macaroni salad, this one is my favorite. Enjoy!!

Time 1h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
2 (5 ounce) cans white tuna, drained and flaked
2 stalks celery, minced
1 onion, minced
2 cups mayonnaise
1 (5 ounce) jar pimento-stuffed green olives, drained

Transfer the macaroni to a bowl, and cool in the refrigerator.

SIMPLE TUNA PASTA SALAD



Simple Tuna Pasta Salad image

Some of the best recipes are the most simple. This is one of those. I prefer it just as written, but you may add any ingredients you choose such as chopped onion, scallions, chives, water chestnuts, chopped hard-boiled eggs, lemon-pepper, dill, parsley, etc. I often take this to potlucks when I need a quick and easy (and economical) dish. I've never had to take home left-overs. Tuna pasta salads can be found at many pot lucks. Albacore tuna is plentiful on the Pacific Coast, and this recipe represents the Western U.S.

Provided by PanNan

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces pasta shells or 12 ounces macaroni, cooked and drained
12 ounces canned chunk albacore tuna, drained
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup frozen green pea, thawed
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (this amount is an estimate, you'll need enough to make the salad creamy) or 1 1/2 cups Miracle Whip (this amount is an estimate, you'll need enough to make the salad creamy)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the cooked and drained pasta with the drained tuna, chopped celery, peas, and mayonnaise, using only enough mayonnaise for the salad to be creamy.
  • (If it's made ahead, you may need more because the pasta will absorb the mayo.) Chill at least 1- 2 hours before serving.

TUNA MACARONI SALAD



Tuna Macaroni Salad image

Yup, another tuna macaroni salad. I really like this one, though. I always use mild curry powder to keep it "crowd-friendly". I've never made it with a hotter, spicer curry powder so I can't recommend it. Like most macaroni salads, you'll probably want to moisten it with some milk before serving.... especially the next day.
