TUNA MACARONI SALAD

Tuna Macaroni Salad image

This is our version of an old Betty Crocker recipe. Again, since we are garlic freaks, we kicked up the garlic and tried other improvement. This is a great side dish or along. Great for potlucks.

Ingredients

1 (7 ounce) package shell macaroni (small sized)

1 cup cubed sharp cheddar cheese (we also shredded it and it was ever better)
1/3 cup minced onion (grated is better)
1 cup salad dressing or 1 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, crushed (again more is better)
3/4 teaspoon salt (can be garlic salt)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup sliced sweet pickle relish (best if left out) (optional)

Steps:

Cook macaroni as desired AL DENTE.
Drain; rinse with cold water.
Combine macaroni, cheese, tuna, pickle relish (if used) and onion in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, stir together salad dressing, salt, pepper and garlic.
Pour over macaroni mixture and toss to coat.
Cover and chill for at least 3 hours (overnight is best).
