Macaroni Salad
Easy and delicious to make, great for bringing to your next BBQ
Ingredients
- 1 box tri-coloured rotini pasta
- 2 small cucumbers pickle sized
- 2 dill pickles
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 2 green onions
- 2 can flaked tuna
- 1 juice from lemon
- 1½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ tbsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp chives
- 1 tsp parsley flakes
- 2 tsp dill weed
- ½ tbsp smoked paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fill a pot ¾ of the way full with water, add salt and bring to a boil on high heat. add pasta and stir. continue to boil until pasta is fully cooked. strain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking and to help stop the pasta from sticking together.
- dice pepper, cucumbers, and dill pickles. finely chop green onions and add to a large bowl.
- Add pasta and all seasonings to the bowl, squeeze the juice from one lemon and add 1 cup of mayonnaise.
- mix all ingredients until everything is fully combined add more mayonnaise if you feel that you don't have enough (if you are making this ahead of time, even the day before make sure you add more mayonnaise that you think you will need. the pasta will soak up some of the moisture overnight.)
- transfer into a serving bowl. sprinkle enough paprika on top to just add some colour.
Notes
all seasonings are up for change based on your tastes. if you don't like a certain flavor don't add it to your dish. also if there is one that you would like to add that I did not mention you can add that also.
measure with your heart, all ingredient amounts are for reference and not the hard and fast rule that you need to follow.
