tuna macaroni salad with peas
My youngest sister Evie made this recipe up about 25 years ago. We've always been "experimental" in the kitchen. She gave me some and I immediately asked her for the recipe. Been making it ever since and now my oldest daughter makes it, too. (My youngest daughter doesn't like tuna, but that's all the more for us, LOL.)
