Notes
RECIPE TIPS
Tuna - Drain well and fluff with a fork.
Pasta - Cook until al dente, drain the pasta and rinse it with cold water to completely cool it. Draining and rinsing will keep the pasta from sticking together. Cooling will prevent the hot pasta from melting the mayo.
Vegetables - when adding fresh vegetables that are soft, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, add just prior to serving.
Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
Shortcut - purchase 8 ounces of macaroni salad from your market deli and add several cans of tuna fish. You can also add extra chopped vegetables then moisten with a little extra mayonnaise.
