Ingredients

  • 8 ounces uncooked macaroni
  • 8 ounces tuna in water
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon dill
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
  • 1 1/4 cup salad dressing Like Miracle Whip
  • 1 stalk celery
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the macaroni according to the directions on the box. Once the macaroni is cooked run under cold water and drain.
  • While the pasta is cooking drain the tuna and chop the dill and the vegetables.
  • Combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 
  • Chill until the salad is cold, but for best results make it the day before you will serve it.

Notes

  1. Use the direction on the package for cooking the noodles. Test the noodles as they cook so they do not overcook.
  2. Drain the noodles completely before adding them to the salad.
  3. Cool the noodles before adding the other ingredients. 
  4. Make the salad the day before so that the flavors have time to meld.
  5. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
