Grandma’s Tuna Macaroni Salad

Grandma’s Tuna Macaroni Salad

For decades I called this my birthday salad. Every year for as long as I can remember that is when we served it. My mother’s recipe was enough different than mine that I can call it my own, but I can’t make this without thinking of her. Thanks, mama!

Ingredients

3 c elbow macaroni, uncooked

1 box baby peas, frozen (about 3 cups)

1 can solid white tuna packed in water (large family size can)

5 oz cheddar cheese, cubed

2 Tbsp sweet pickle relish

1/2 red onion

3 – 4 celery stalks

1 c real mayonaise

salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Cook macaroni according to package directions.

2. Place frozen peas in a colander and run warm water over them to thaw; then drain well.

3. When macaroni is done, rinse well in cold water to cool.

4. Place all ingredients in a very large mixing bowl. Mix well.

5. Chill, then serve.
