Ingredients
- 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)
Directions
1
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).2
In a large salad bowl, combine chopped eggs, diced onion, celery, mayo, lemon, spices, relish, and hot sauce.3
Drain the tuna well and flake into the bowl.4
Make sure the pasta is relatively dry (a little water clinging to them keeps the salad moist and cuts down the mayo needed).5
Thoroughly mix the salad and chill if desired.6
Serve in bowls or on a bed of lettuce.

This is a great salad! I fixed it for myself and friends everybody just loved it .I also used a whole wheat pasta instead of the regular pasta.

Memories from my childhood. This is how my Dad always liked his macaroni salad. I may have been a little heavy on the red hot but I like it hot! Thanks for the memories.

We just ate this for lunch and it was a big hit! I used penne pasta and only two cans of tuna. Also we were too hungry to cook hardboiled eggs so we skipped them this time. Definitely going to put them in next time. We put in 2 teaspoons of pickle relish and 1 of onion relish and that added a nice zip.

This was a really good tasting pasta salad with lots of flavor. The lemon juice, hot sauce and seasonings really tasted wonderful together. The only change I made was using dill relish instead of sweet relish due to personal preference. Thanks for submitting the recipe kolleen!
