Mama's Macaroni Salad with Tuna Fish

2 cups of uncooked elbow macaroni
1/2 of a green pepper, finely chopped
1/2 of a red pepper, finely chopped (or pimento)
1 stalk of celery, finely chopped
1 carrot, shredded
1 cup of mayonnaise
1 tablespoon of Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 teaspoon of celery seed
3 tablespoons of sugar
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
2 hard boiled eggs
1/2 cup of milk
2 cans of Albacore Tuna, drained
Paprika for sprinkling on top (optional)

Cook the macaroni according to the package directions. Drain. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the paprika. Mix well. Refrigerate at least two hours before serving. This may look a little soupy when you first make it but after it chills for a few hours, it will soak up all of that wonderful liquid.

Very interesting recipe, Mama!

1/2 cup of milk and 2 Tcider vinegar? So, you are making buttermilk?

It sure looks delicious!

Ya know I never thought about it before but I guess you're right. I love this stuff. I could eat it several times a week all summer long.

Looks great Mama!

I make a tuna one as well that has a lemon flavor that I can eat every day, 2 meals a day until its gone! LOVE IT!

Oh, Mama, that looks gorgeous !
Unfortunately, my Dear Mother ruined me for tuna (went in everything from casseroles to , believe it or not, "Tuna Fruitti"

...severely maimed me for liver, as well, but I grew up, learned how to do it , and survived.........

Thanks Dee and LT!

That's a shame LT....this is one of my all time favorite summertime pastas.

I can certainly vouch for Mamas' mac salad. I made it the other day and it is fabulous!! I used penne rigate because that's what I had. Adding the tuna makes it a meal in itself....
