COLD MACARONI AND TUNA SALAD image

Categories     Egg     Fish     Pasta     Salad

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs
3 cups macaroni
1/2 package (10 ounce) frozen green peas
2 cans (6 ounce) tuna, drained
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Over medium heat, bring water to a full boil. Lower heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Immediately plunge eggs into cold water.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and rinse under cold water.
  • Put frozen peas into a colander and rinse with hot water; drain well. In a large bowl place the macaroni and peas. Peel eggs and dice them into the bowl. Put the tuna in the bowl, flaking it apart.
  • Stir mayonnaise into the mixture a little at a time, so the mixture is moist but not soggy. Sprinkle the salt and pepper and mix one last time.
  • Cover and refrigerate for a least one hour or overnight.

I'm not a huge fan of tuna, so I usually use chicken instead. It's just as delicious.

This is a great basic recipe that you can easily adapt to your own taste. I've added things like chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced pickles, and even some crumbled bacon.

I've also made this recipe with rotini pasta and it works just as well. I think any short pasta would work well in this dish.

I like to add a little bit of Dijon mustard to my dressing. It gives it a nice tangy flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I usually use Greek yogurt instead. It's a healthier alternative and it still tastes great.
