High-Protein Tuna Macaroni Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 (5 ounce) cans white tuna, drained and flaked
  • 2 stalks celery, minced
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 1 (5 ounce) jar pimento-stuffed green olives, drained
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a substantial container with salted water and placing it on high heat until it reaches a rolling boil.
2
Next, cook the elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally to prevent lumps from forming, until it reaches a tender yet still slightly firm texture, approximately 8 minutes.
3
Drain the macaroni thoroughly in a colander positioned over the sink, then transfer it to a serving bowl and allow it to cool down in the refrigerator.
4
To prepare the salad, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, canned tuna, diced celery, and chopped onion in a large serving dish until they are well mixed.
5
Add the cooked macaroni, an additional 1 cup of mayonnaise, halved grape tomatoes, and pitted olives to the bowl.
6
Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste, then refrigerate it for 1 hour before serving.
