Tuna Twist (Tuna Macaroni Salad) image

After discovering this recipe I never make macaroni salad any other way. I sometimes used canned white chicken. After reading the comments on the dill I want to mention that the original recipe called called for 3 tablespoons of dried dill! Can you imagine.....I would change the name to dill salad!

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (6 ounce) cans light chunk tuna in water, drained
8 ounces macaroni or 8 ounces shaped pasta
1 cup frozen peas
1/3-1/2 cup finely chopped onion, i like vidalia
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup mayonnaise (plus more if needed)
2 tablespoons cider vinegar (*)
1 tablespoon dried dill
1 dash pepper
salt

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to directions.
  • Put frozen peas in colander and drain pasta over peas.
  • In large bowl mix mayonnaise and vinegar.
  • Add pasta and peas and mix well.
  • Add remaining ingredients mixing well.
  • Taste to adjust seasonings.
  • Place in fridge for flavors to blend (or eat as is if you can't wait).
  • You might want to add additional mayonnaise after salad has been refrigerated, because some of the mayonnaise will "soak" into pasta.
  • *This is the amount of vinegar the original recipe calls for -- I have been cutting down to one tablespoon.
