Mary Beth's Menu - Tuna Macaroni Salad

by on ‎05-25-2014 09:20 AM

My original Tuna Macaroni Salad recipe is for a large crowd and calls for 3 16-oz boxes of "ring" macaroni. The ring macaroni is big in Minnesota, but is tough to find here in West Chester. If you can't find it either, feel free to substitute small shells or elbow macaroni. I used the elbow macaroni this time. You can also cut the recipe if you are serving a smaller group of people. 
And remember, most recipes can be tailored to fit your taste buds. For instance, omit the onions if you don't care for them and feel free to add things such as bacon, tomatoes, black olives, etc.


Experiment, have fun and enjoy!
