TUNA & MACARONI SUMMER SALAD



Tuna & Macaroni Summer Salad image

With the warm summer months approaching; many of us will think about outdoor barbeques and get togethers. You certainly need something to go with those hotdogs and burgers. Macaroni salad is a popular side when serving hamburgers and hotdogs. I have taken the traditional macaroni salad recipe and I added a few new spices and ingredients so that you could even make a meal out of the macaroni itself.

REFRESHING SUMMER COLD TUNA MACARONI SALAD



Refreshing Summer Cold Tuna Macaroni Salad image

This is my family's go to meal during the summer. I make a huge batch of it and we all eat it around the pool all Memorial weekend. I've used Cavatappi pasta instead of elbow macaroni this time so that the cute curly Cavatappi's ridges can grab more tuna. Enjoy!

Provided by Deni Elwood

Categories     Salads

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 box 1 lb macaroni, elbow or cavatappi pasta
2 can(s) 12 oz water packed tuna
1 jar(s) 14 oz sweet pickle relish
1 jar(s) 15 oz. miracle whip
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Bring pot of salted water to a rapid boil. Add pasta to boiling water. Stir and let boil for 8-10 minutes. Remove Pasta from pot, drain well then rinse while in colander with cold water from your tap. After pasta is completely cooled, drain well and pour into large bowl.
  • 2. While pasta is boiling, rough chop a large sweet onion.
  • 3. Empty the contents of the sweet relish into bowl with pasta and stir. Add the chopped onion and mix into pasta mixture.
  • 4. Open both cans of tuna and drain well. Empty the cans of tuna, breaking up the tuna as you do. Mix well into pasta mixture. Add the jar of Miracle Whip and mix completely with pasta, relish and onion.
  • 5. Refrigerate the pasta salad until very cool. Before serving, stir again and add salt and pepper to taste. I like to use sea salt for the taste.
  • 6. Hint: Sometimes the salad becomes dry (due to the pasta absorbing the liquid), so before serving if it is a little dry, add a small amount of milk to the pasta salad and mix well.

SUMMER PASTA SALAD WITH TUNA



Summer Pasta Salad With Tuna image

This is the quintessential summer comfort food. When it was too hot to cook or eat a heavy dinner, my mother would often make this as a light summer meal. The leftovers taste great the next day! NOTE: Many of the spices can be adjusted to taste. I like to experiment with new flavors, like adding dill or curry powder. (cooking time is boiling the pasta and eggs, while prep time is chopping and mixing)

Categories     Tuna

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 ounces elbow macaroni (or other small pasta, shells, radiatore, bowties)
3 (6 ounce) cans tuna
4 hardboiled egg, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced small
1 small onion, diced small
4 -5 tablespoons mayonnaise (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
3 -4 dashes hot sauce (we like Frank's Red Hot)

Steps:

  • Boil pasta as directed until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. (I also boil the eggs at this time and rinse then in cold water when finished).
  • In a large salad bowl, combine chopped eggs, diced onion, celery, mayo, lemon, spices, relish, and hot sauce.
  • Drain the tuna well and flake into the bowl.
  • Make sure the pasta is relatively dry (a little water clinging to them keeps the salad moist and cuts down the mayo needed).
  • Thoroughly mix the salad and chill if desired.
  • Serve in bowls or on a bed of lettuce.
