CATIE'S ISLAND TUNA SALAD

Steps:
- 1. Cook macaroni as directed on package. Drain, and rinse with cold water to chill and rinse starch. Drain. Place macaroni in a large bowl.
- 2. Combine salad dressing, sour cream, celery seed, black pepper to taste, and about 1 tsp salt (add salt to taste ONLY IF you are omitting the onion salt). Gently blend the dressing into the macaroni in bowl making sure all macaroni is well coated with dressing.
- 3. Gently blend remaining ingredients into the pasta. Chill. Note: I use two 5 oz. cans tuna for fuller salad. You can substitute tuna with ham, luncheon meat, or chicken. Also, you can substitute lite sour cream, lite MIracle Whip, low fat cheese, as desired. NOTE FOR GLUTEN FREE: This recipe is excellent using the rice/quinoa blend of macaroni, such as Andean Dream.
- 4. Serve on plates. I often garnish plates with bright orange carrots, green celery, and cucumber sticks for a colorful plate. Can line plate with a large lettuce leaf upon which to lay the serving of salad as well. Makes a lovely luncheon salad.
