Tuna Macaroni Salad

Tuna Macaroni Salad with Fruits and German Farm Bread

There are a lot of Tuna Macaroni Salad recipes in the internet but I skipped most of them because of the Italian salad dressing listed on the ingredient. 

I am not familiar with Italian salad dressing since I don’t buy packaged salad dressings and our usual salad dressing mostly involves vinaigrette with touches of herbs and spices from our garden.

Therefore, I decided to re-create the Tuna andApple Sandwich recipe and add a little twist (leaving the apple behind though it ended up as a side dish). 

Here’s the very easy Tuna Macaroni Salad


Ingredients:

250 grams Macaroni Noodles

1 canned tuna (150 grams), drained

1 cup mayonnaise

50 grams chopped pickles

2 teaspoons lemon or calamansi juice
½  cups chopped bell peppers (I used an orange bell pepper)

2 teaspoons chopped chives (if desired)

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Cook macaroni as directed on the package, rinse with cold water and drain. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together then add the macaroni. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to blend the flavors.

Serve with a side dish of your choice. The girls love their Tuna Macaroni Salad on an iceberg lettuce with loads of fruit slices and a slice of dark bread.
