tuna macaroni salad
(3 ratings)
This is hands down mine and my family's favorite version of macaroni salad. It is a meal in itself. Feel free to add whatever veggies you like to this. I made this for my signature dish at the WFC in Vegas this year, 2014, bc my hubs talked me into it, and believe it or not it came in 9th place which is pretty good. What I did to tweak it a little was cut back on the mayo and add a dollop or sour cream, and add some dill pickle juice and some dill weed. I will be doing that from now on for my go to on this.
