Ingredients
Directions
starkist chunk light Tuna in water (3 oz)Hard Boiled Egg, 6 large*Elbow Macaroni, 375 gramsOnions, raw, 0.5 cup, chopped*Peppers, sweet, red, fresh, 0.5 cup, choppedCelery, raw, 0.5 cup, dicedMayonnaise, regular (mayo), 1.5 cupOregano, ground, 2 tspGarlic powder, 1 tbspBasil, 1 tbsp*Garlic Salt, 1 tsp*Celery Salt, 0.5 tbsp*Onion Salt, 0.5 tbsp
Hardboil the eggs and cook the macaroni according to package directions. I use Dreamfields Elbow Macaroni, which claims that all but 5 carbs are 'protected' and not digested.
Put the tuna into a 6-8 quart bowl, don't drain it. Use a fork to separate it into tiny little bits so that when you take a bite of the salad, you won't bite into tuna.
Cool the eggs and macaroni to about room temperature, then chop the eggs and add both eggs and macaroni to the vegetables. Add the seasonings to taste and add the mayonnaise. Mix very well. Make the salad very moist with the mayonnaise because as the salad rests in the refrigerator overnight, it will absorb the excess mayonnaise and all the flavors will marry.
Cover the bowl with saran wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight.
Serving Size: makes ten 1-cup servings
