Macaroni Tuna Salad Recipe

Macaroni Tuna Salad Recipe

  • 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
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Transfer the macaroni to a bowl, and cool in the refrigerator.
  2. In a large bowl, lightly toss the tuna with celery, onion, and about 1 cup mayonnaise until combined, then stir in the remaining mayonnaise, macaroni, olives, and grape tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let the salad chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
