This tuna, noodles, pickles, and cheese recipe came from my grandmother, who used peas instead of pickles in her version. My mother changed the recipe, and I have altered it even more. The flavors of these ingredients blend together in what is reminiscent of a cold macaroni or potato salad. It will be your family's new favorite!
