HAWAIIAN STYLE LOADED TUNA MACARONI SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the pasta according to the package directions, making sure to salt the water. Drain and add to a large mixing bowl. Mix in the apple cider vinegar - use 1 T. for a subtle flavor and 2 T. if you like it tangy.
• At the same time as the pasta is boiling, boil 5 eggs. When the eggs are done, peel and coarsely chop. Set aside.
• While the pasta and eggs are cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Open and drain the tuna. Use a fork to shred the tuna meat. Set aside.
• Use a food processor or grater to shred the carrot and chop the celery. Set aside. Grate onion to get 2-3 tablespoons (see notes). Add all of these ingredients to the pasta with the tuna and parsley. Mixture thoroughly. Set aside.
• For the mayonnaise mixture, mix together the milk and mayonnaise. Add this into the salad and mix together. If you feel the mix is too dry, add more mayonnaise and milk till you get the consistency you like. (see notes)
• Taste the mix. Add salt and pepper to taste. (see notes)
