Tuna Macaroni Salad

This recipe is always on rotation in our house.  I love to whip this up for an easy weekend lunch and make it a BIG batch so that we have enough for leftovers throughout the coming week.  It is one of those recipes that only gets better with a little time to hangout in the fridge.  Delicious and the kids love it!  What could be better!?

Ingredient Tips for Tuna Macaroni Salad

• Optional ingredients to add – sliced green onions and diced hard-boiled eggs
• Mayo – You can use any mayo that you prefer but if you are looking for a delicious and simple recipe to make your own – check this one out but I also really like this store-bought mayo too! Just check your ingredients if you are worried about paleo/Whole30.
• Pasta – You can use any pasta you want.  If you are looking for gluten-free, I really like this gluten-free macaroni! Works perfectly in this recipe!
• Tuna – You can use your preferred tuna but if you need a recommendation, I like this tuna.
