This recipe came from my mother-in-law. My husband loves it. Use as a salad, a side dish, or a main dish. You could add chopped celery, bell peppers, olives, etc.

How To Make macaroni tuna salad

Step 1

Prepare the shell pasta as directed on package. Drain well. In a large bowl, mix the drained pasta with all other ingredients. Stir gently. Refrigerate overnight.

Step 2

NOTE: I get the tiny shells in the 'TIERRA LINDA' brand. They are called 'conchitas' -- small shell pasta.
