This is a great macaroni salad with cavatappi pasta I started making a few years back and is now requested at every event I attend. So simple, yet delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 package cavatappi pasta , 16 ounce
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 cans albacore tuna , 11 ounce
  • 1 can sliced black olives , 6 ounce
  • 4 stalks celery , chopped
  • 0.5 medium white onion , chopped
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add cavatappi and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 10 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until no longer hot. Drain again and transfer to a big bowl.

  2. 2

    Add mayonnaise, tuna, olives, celery, onion, salt, and pepper to the pasta; toss until fully combined. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
