This cold tuna salad is a simple and good recipe that is great served on those hot summer days. It can even be prepared the night before so that it is ready and cold when you come home from work the next day. My husband never ate this until we got married; now, he requests it every other week in the summer. You can substitute chicken for the tuna, which is also great. I serve it on a leaf of lettuce, for looks, with an assortment of crackers. Happy eating!

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2.75 cups macaroni
  • 0.5 packages frozen English peas , 10 ounce
