TUNA TWIST PASTA SALAD

This is a cold salad like one I had at a resturant recently and I just loved it. I looked all over to get as close to the one I had so I could make it myself. As I took down the ingredients to share it, I find that this recipe came from none other than Mr. Food. To his good memory.

TUNA-MACARONI SALAD

You pretty much already have everything you need to make this side dish, a great accompaniment to fried or grilled proteins. Some people love raw onion and celery, but you can leave them out or keep them in as you like. Make sure you use tuna packed in water. (Tuna in olive oil will make the salad too oily.) It's best chilled - don't serve it at room temperature - its creamy unctuousness balances out the heat (from spice or from cooking) of whatever it's paired with.
