Recipe for Homemade Macaroni Salad

I used to make this macaroni salad at the deli I owned by the hundreds of pounds! It was an all time favorite and continues to be at our home! Easy, affordable and plain delicious! Here is what you are going to need for this:

12 oz. cooked elbow macaroni
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1- 8 oz. can tuna, drained and flaked
1 small green bell pepper, diced
4 oz. grape tomatoes
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
2 stalks celery, finely diced
3/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons salt (more to taste)
½ tablespoon mayonnaise
Pepper

• In a bowl mix together the macaroni, tuna and all the vegetables.
• Add the olive oil and the salt to the salad. Mix well.
• Add the cider vinegar and mix well.
• Taste the salad and make sure you do not need to adjust the salt or vinegar. You need to balance the two well.
• Add the mayo and mix. Sprinkle with ground black pepper.
• Serve.
