Ingredients

  • 12 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked al-dente, and completely cooled
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cup mayonnaise, do not use salad dressing
  • 2 large kosher dill pickles, coarsely chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • salt and black pepper
  • fresh dill sprig (optional)
  • hard-boiled egg (optional)

Method

  • Cook the macaroni according to package directions for al dente doneness.
  • Drain and immediately plunge into very cold water to stop any further cooking.
  • Drain the tuna, and coarsely crumble into the drained and cooled macaroni.
  • Gently stir in about 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise.
  • Add the pickles, celery and dried dill.
  • Stir again gently adding more mayonnaise until desired coverage is achieved. (I don't like it dry, but it shouldn't be "soupy").
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, again gently stirring inches.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • If the salad looks a bit dry, you can add a bit more mayonnaise right before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh dill and sliced eggs if using.
