This macaroni tuna salad recipe is great for lunch if you don't feel like cooking on those hot summer days. It's also a wonderful side for grilled food. I have perfected it — after making many different types of macaroni salad, this one is my favorite. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 package elbow macaroni , 16 ounce
  • 2 cups mayonnaise , divided
  • 2 cans white tuna , 5 ounce
  • 2 stalks celery , minced
  • 1 onion , minced
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 1 jar pimento-stuffed green olives , 5 ounce
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink; transfer to a bowl, then cool in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Toss 1 cup mayonnaise, tuna, celery, and onion together in a large bowl until combined; stir in macaroni, remaining 1 cup mayonnaise, grape tomatoes, and olives. Season with salt and black pepper. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
