Kitty's birthday salad. Traditionally we have made this every July for years and years. Until Grandma Wells died, the kids never knew it was originally her recipe from the 1960s. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups elbow macaroni |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed |
1 (6 ounce) can albacore tuna, drained and flaked |
1 cup diced celery |
1 cup cubed cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup chopped red onion |
2 tablespoons chopped sweet pickle |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain macaroni and cool under running water.
2. Place macaroni into a large salad bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, green peas, tuna, celery, Cheddar cheese, red onion, and chopped sweet pickle until thoroughly combined. Chill and serve.
