Description

This recipe came from my grandmother, who used peas in her version instead of pickles. My mother changed the recipe and I have altered it even more. The flavors of these ingredients blended together in what is reminiscent of a cold macaroni or potato salad will be your family's new favorite!

Ingredients
  • 8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 2 dill pickles, chopped
  • 6 ounces Colby-Jack cheese, cubed
  • 1 (5 ounce) can albacore tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • ½ cup light mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dill pickle juice
Directions
  1. 1. Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni, and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Rinse under cold running water, then drain well and pat lightly with paper towels.
  2. 2. In a large bowl, stir together the macaroni, pickles, cheese, tuna, mayonnaise and mustard. Season with a splash of pickle juice, salt and pepper. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
