I’ve made Tuna Mac Salad for over 50 years. Almost same recipe. I use half the amount of macaroni and double the tuna. Serve on lettuce cups with crackers. Thanks for the reminder. Tomorrow for sure.

My Aunt Mary used to make the best tuna/macaroni salad. I think it was the love she put into it. She used little shell pasta and diced the onions tiny and would chop up a tomato from her garden. I even have her recipe but it never tastes the same! She was the most loving person ever. Great video. Took me back

I’ve been making something similar to this for about 40 years! It was a recipe I found in a magazine. When I use a full 16-ounce box of elbow macaroni, I use 3 cans of Bumblebee chunk light tuna (in water). I also add a tablespoon of dill weed and a generous topping of shredded mild cheddar cheese. A few hours in the fridge to allow all the flavors to meld, and what a delicious dish!! Everyone I’ve served it to has requested the recipe!! Didn’t know that handy little tip about putting the baking soda in the water when boiling eggs-will definitely do that from now on. 🥰 My husband and I love your videos and watch them together!

She kept it there to nourish her hairdressers and she made it exactly like you. I love Kraft mayo because of the hint of vinegar that cuts the richness of the mayo.

Your salad looks great. My mom made this salad, she used scallions instead of red onions, otherwise just like yours. Our family loved it!

The tiny ring noodles are the best in this salad!! That way the pasta does not take over the other flavors!

Thats been a favorite of mine since I was little. My grandma got me hooked on it. We'd come from out if town to visit my grandparents & she'd always have this same, big glass serving bowl FULL to the brim with cold tuna noodle salad. She made it very similar to yours, but no pickle relish & lots of eggs cut up in the salad, but the entire top was covered in sliced hard boiled eggs and sprinkled with paprika. She made it the day before we would get there & wouldn't let anybody have any till I got there & had the first plate! (MY poor grandpa❤️) She loved green onions so there was always a lot of those in there and she put really thin slices of radishes cut in half. She never got the peas heated up, just drained a frozen bag in a strainer to get any ice off. Basically just rinsed them to separate them. I do that to this day because they stay nice & firm that way & also seem to help the salad start to chill a little faster. My mom makes it basically the same way still, but has decided she likes seedless red grapes cut in half in hers. I like it that way too, but never think to put it in my own batches somehow. I think I could eat my way thru a big bowl of this stuff every week in the summer! By myself!! 🤣🤣 It's just always been my favorite. I also make the dressing in a separate bowl & mix everything together but the tuna & eggs. Once I have plenty of dressing on the noodles & veggies, I fold in the tuna & eggs so they don't get so broken up by folding it all together. I like them to stay in bigger chunks. But get those sliced eggs on top as a garnish, cover it loosely with plastic wrap & give it a couple hours in the fridge & WATCH OUT! YUMM! 🤣 Thanks for the walk down memory lane!! Miss my grandma every single day & she's been gone since 1985. Nobody spoils ya like grandma, right? 🥰🥰 God bless. 🙏🙏

That’s today’s world for us. But I’m sure grandparents will always be remembered when they are gone, sadly it will be too let for them to spoil their grandchildren. Prayers and thoughts for all grandparents of today.

I just bought frozen peas so I can make this! This is my favorite salad in the summer. Thank you for your energy making this wonderful dish.

We had a recipe years ago called Tuna Pea Salad. We used a shell shaped macaroni because the shells were perfect to have the peas and other ingredients inside the shells. We had chopped red onion with finely chopped celery with salt and pepper and a good quality mayo. If we used water packed tuna and we used a bit of olive oil to stir through the pasta before adding the mayo. We did not use albacore or white tuna as the chunk light has the darker more flavorful tuna. This salad is better the day after you make it and it has been in the frig overnight. We never used eggs. I always thought this was a southern recipe since almost everyone that tasted it loved it but had never heard of this before. It's really good.

Good morning Catharine. Tuna salad is delicious anytime of the year. It goes a long way. Very inexpensive. 🥰

I have made tuna Mac salad with peas for 45 years. I add dill weed and onion powder to the mayo. No relish. A little shredded carrot. No eggs. I guess we all have variations, but sooo good!

I make my tuna/pasta salad just like yours but add one more ingredient which is cubes of cheddar cheese. Also my peas go in without boiling... frozen peas. Thanks for sharing your recipe 😊

I've been craving Tuna Macaroni salad for a couple weeks but was too lazy to make it. I think you have given me the impetus to finally get moving on this. Looking good, Catherine, and just perfect for a hot summer day.

If your bowl isn't big enough for combining, you can use a roaster pan or a big pot.

This is great. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe. And the measurements that you have told us helps people that have never made this. Thank you I can't wait for more of your great recipes🤗

When my mixing bowl is a little on the small side to mix and stir all my ingredients, I use a one gallon ice cream pail, or even a stock pot, for mixing. Then I transfer everything back into my nice glass salad bowl to chill and serve. It’s an extra pail to wash, but it’s so much easier and faster that it’s well worth it to me. I have to make this recipe soon! I love tuna salad and it’s been a while since we had it.

Colorful and all those delicious flavors! Great idea for these hot summer days.👍😋

I've been making what we call "tuna wiggle" for decades using fusilli instead of elbow macaroni but I'm going to try this version. I love the idea of adding peas. I'll probably still add the horseradish I put in ours, though. Thank you anyway.

I have made this for years at home in America. Tomorrow I am making it for my Bible study group here in Tanzania 🇹🇿 East Africa. Let's see how they like it. Thanks.

Hi, I do it just like yours but with one added addition.. shredded cheddar cheese. Scrumptious!

Use the same recipe except I use spaghetti noodles snd canned strained peas. Love it!

I make it like you do except--- I break up the tuna (or canned chicken) in a smaller bowl, add all the other ingredients and mix them together. THEN I add the pasta. It's much easier to mix it that way. Also I sometimes put a squirt of mustard or splash of vinegar in to give it a little tang. I had Tuna Tarragon at a restaurant once. Just leave out the eggs and add some tarragon and Asian dressing. Delicious! So many recipes, so little time! 😊
