Macaroni Tuna Salad

This macaroni tuna salad is great on its own for lunch if you don't feel like cooking on those hot summer days. It's also a wonderful side for grilled food. I have perfected it—after making many different types of macaroni salad, this one is my favorite. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni

  • 2 cups mayonnaise, divided

  • 2 (5 ounce) cans white tuna, drained and flaked

  • 2 stalks celery, minced

  • 1 onion, minced

  • 1 pint grape tomatoes

  • 1 (5 ounce) jar pimento-stuffed green olives, drained

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink; transfer to a bowl, and cool in the refrigerator.

  2. Toss 1 cup mayonnaise, tuna, celery, and onion together in a large bowl until combined; stir in macaroni, remaining 1 cup mayonnaise, grape tomatoes, and olives. Season with salt and black pepper. Chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
