Macaroni and Tuna Salad - No "crunchies"

Recipe #234508 | 15 min | 5 min prep | add private note

My DH will not eat macaroni salad if it has any "crunchies" (onion, celery, peppers, etc)in it, so, in order for me to include it in my dinners, I had to be creative. All ingredients are really to taste, as I have a tendency not to measure. This is a great idea for kids also, as I know that when many of the children in our family were small they didn't like onions.

Your title made me smile and I knew I had to try this. As I child, I didn't like crunchies in my macaroni salad so my mom would make me my own batch. This recipe was easy to make. I followed the recipe as written but I needed to add a lot more mayo then indicated. I put in one cup and it still wasn't enough. From there I just dumped it in, I didn't measure. We thought it was missing something though- just not sure what (and it wasn't anything cruchy! LOL) I did add the optional eggs.

    The salad was nicely seasoned by the onion and garlic powders and celery seeds. I missed the crunch and added some finely chopped celery. I halved the recipe, but used the full half cup of mayo in the salad.

    This is quite tasty despite having no "crunchies." I used the optional hard-boiled eggs. The only thing I did differently was that instead of onion powder, I used fresh red onion. I chopped it really fine, so there still wouldn't be much "crunch." I like that this is quick and easy to make and great for kids and adults alike. Thanx for posting!
