Instructions
Directions for making Macaroni Salad with Tuna:
- Boil pasta and let cool. I add ice to the colander after it's cooked, while I'm making the rest of the salad.
- Chop your veggies and eggs while pasta is cooling.
- Mash up the tuna into smaller chunks
- Add pasta, mustard and 1/2C mayo to bowl. Add tuna, veggies, and eggs. Add mayo in 1/4C increments until you're satisfied with the consistency. This salad tastes best when allowed to sit overnight before serving. You'll probably need to add mayo to salad before serving.
