A tasty tuna salad which is easy to prepare. I frequently make it during the Summer for a light supper, after a day at the pool. Also works well for picnics. Amounts given are estimates, I usually prepare this "by taste".

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (6 1/2 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked
1/2 lb cooked elbow macaroni or small shell pasta, rinsed and drained
1-2 hard-boiled eggs, mashed
1/2 medium vidalia onion, minced
1/2 cup chopped or minced celery
1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper or green bell pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper

Directions

1
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.
2
Mix well to blend.
3
If salad is too dry, add more mayonnaise.
4
Taste, and adjust seasonings to your preference.
5
Chill well before serving.
6
Note: If you are going to triple the recipe, only use 1 hard boiled egg per can of tuna.

Hey guess what, this works with angel hair pasta too, I broke the pasta into quarter lengths. I used half a box of 450g, and two tins of tuna. I also added half a red bell pepper, maybe a quarter of a red onion, 2 hard boiled eggs, and a few sweet gherkins. Maybe it's just because I LOVE gherkins, but the sweetness went so well with this. Next time I'll experiment with some spices. THANK YOU!

I gave this 5 stars. I love this recipe! My gram taught me how to make it. The copy I got from her is slightly different. There is no green pepper or celery listed (I have had it with celery in it before). It calls for 1/2 box Ring pasta (P&G or Ronzoni, Salad Supreme (Opt, we always add this to the salad and on top), celery salt (Opt), and green olives (Opt). My gram would sometimes use part salad dressing & a little sugar. The rest of the recipe is the same as posted. To bump up the protein in this salad I've used a 12oz can of tuna and 4 hard-boiled eggs and the flavor was not changed what so ever. Thanks for posting a great recipe! Christine (internetnut)

Yum! I added 1 cup of frozen peas to the pasta during its last 2 minutes of cooking time, ommitted the peppers, and then I used Miracle Whip instead of Mayo, but it was delicious...Great recipe!!

This was a delicious light supper! I left out the onions and the pepper as DH was out of town and he is the onion and pepper guy. I added a few grape tomatoes cut in half for a little color and there you have it!! A beautiful salad fit for a queen! Thank you for a new summertime favorite, Dee!
