Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
2 (5 ounce) cans white tuna, drained and flaked
2 stalks celery, minced
1 onion, minced
2 cups mayonnaise

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) can albacore tuna in water
1/2-3/4 cup Miracle Whip (mayo not recommended)
2 celery ribs, finely diced
1/3 cup green olives, sliced (with pimentos)
1 lb elbow macaroni (cooked slightly al dente, then chilled rinsed to cool)
onion powder, to taste
celery salt, to taste
garlic salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste (I like Mortons Nature Seasoning)

Steps:

Boil pasta until slightly undercooked (should still have a slight bite to it!) Be sure to completely chill elbows before adding to mixture.
Drain and flake tuna in bowl, add celery and sliced olives.
Add Miracle Whip and season with Nature's Seasoning to desired taste----season carefully as olives add quite a bit of saltiness!
Cover and chill for 45 minutes to meld flavors!
Great with burgers, brats, any summertime favorite or with a simple friut salad as a main dish!
