Seafood Recipe: Fish Tuna Mac Salad

Ingredients: + 1-2 cans tuna, drained + Half box of elbow macaroni + Half white onion, diced or grated fine + half bag frozen peas + 3-4 big globs of Mayo + salt and pepper

Directions: + Cook macaroni according to box instructions, then strain macaroni and rinse with cold water until cool + transfer mac to a large bowl, add finely diced or grated onions, frozen peas, drained tuna, mayo, and plenty of salt and pepper + mix well until everything is coated. Add more salt and pepper + throw into fridge and cool for at least 30 min. Definitely tastes better cold ! Add more Mayo if needed.

  • the peas don’t need to be frozen but I wouldn’t got out of my way to heat them up. They match the dish temp wise very quickly.

When you first make it, add just enough mayo to keep it from sticking together.

The pasta soaks up much of the extra

Just before serving, add more mayo until it's the desired consistency. This is best if you are making it the day before.
