My Aunt Mary used to make the best tuna/macaroni salad. I think it was the love she put into it. She used little shell pasta and diced the onions tiny and would chop up a tomato from her garden. I even have her recipe but it never tastes the same! She was the most loving person ever. Great video. Took me back
The tomatoes would make it more colorful and tasty-good idea.
@@ykborna she made everything better. Her Italian sausage sandwiches were always really good
God bless her soul. I use chives instead of celery. Just love the smell and taste of them. Was your Aunt Mary a pisces by chance?
@@shunte652 I don't remember, but I am and her niece, my cousin had a middle February birthday.
@@laurenonmoonlightdr Wow I am also a Pisces. My brother Aaron also (Feb26th) Not boasting or anything but I find ♓️ to be very loving people, but don't mash their corns...look out!😂
I make my tuna pasta salad with medium size seashell pasta...one red pepper...a red onion..peas...grape tomatoes cut in half...tuna of course...mayonnaise and a little mustard..salt and pepper! My husband loves this! Been making this for over fifty yrs
Debra, I had this tuna mac. Salad 38 yrs.ago in Florida after my F.I.L. passed. A friend brought it after the funeral . She made it just like you make yours. I need to make this .
Hi 👋. Just read your comment and I’m going to try your way after I try Catherine’s! Sounds delicious 😋
Your recipe sounds great . I will add your ingredients to the salad too. We do something similar in Capetown .
How much tuna?
@@LAwigTalk I believe it’s 2 6oz cans
This magnificent. Looks good.
I make mine with shell pasta, baby peas, chopped water chestnuts, green onions, half mixture of Mayo and miracle whip.
I heard about half mayo and half miracle whip. Will try it! Thanks.
I’ve been making something similar to this for about 40 years! It was a recipe I found in a magazine. When I use a full 16-ounce box of elbow macaroni, I use 3 cans of Bumblebee chunk light tuna (in water). I also add a tablespoon of dill weed and a generous topping of shredded mild cheddar cheese. A few hours in the fridge to allow all the flavors to meld, and what a delicious dish!! Everyone I’ve served it to has requested the recipe!! Didn’t know that handy little tip about putting the baking soda in the water when boiling eggs-will definitely do that from now on. 🥰 My husband and I love your videos and watch them together!

Thanks is good love it
1 Tbs of vinegar works also
I 1st had this delicious macaroni salad & I totally agree it is devine
I always add dill also gives it that extra little something ❤
I’ve made Tuna Mac Salad for over 50 years. Almost same recipe. I use half the amount of macaroni and double the tuna. Serve on lettuce cups with crackers. Thanks for the reminder. Tomorrow for sure.
I made this with 2 lbs of chunked cold cooked shrimp! Let it sit overnight. MAGNIFICENT!
Yes, I’ve done tiny tiny shrimp too ! AWSOME Try imitation crabmeat! You’ll like that also !
That is a great idea , thanks for the recepie greetings from Berlin
@@user-ux1gp9nz9x that sounds good tasting
😀😃
Tuna macaroni salad is what l liked before. Your recipe is better than my previous tuna macaroni salad. Thank you
I use an egg slicer, slice one way, flip the egg, slice in the other djrection
I do the same.
Thank you for your healthy eating tuna salad for humans. Very good and healthy and appreciated 😊❤
Adding bits of apples is great too!
Thanks for sharing your recipe,, looks delicious,, will try it
Food made in a clean environment. Bravo my lady
It looks absolutely delicious… I’m drooling.😂
Thank you 😋
Looks delicious I’m going to make it
have always loved this , been looking for a receipe for along time
This is totally awesome you can also use canned chicken instead of tuna. Catherine's dishes are always something to look forward to.
Wish 10:56 I could have some of your salad right now! When my children were home for summer break, we had this salad for lunch.😊
Great idea!
@@charlesbowers8112 I just made this salad with chicken instead of tuna and it's good, I make it once-a-month
yes i keep both in my pantry
@dottymarnoch2496 , I also will prefer chicken instead of tuna
Catherine does this bring back memories. I was a hairdresser for 30 years and my first Boss kept a big bowl of this in the fridge with a big cup to scoop it out. She kept it there to nourish
her hairdressers and she made it exactly like you. I love Kraft mayo because of the hint of vinegar that cuts the richness of the mayo. I make this often still to this day! Put that on a lettuce
leaf wrap good to go, thank you for bringing back such a great memory.
I love the lettuce wrap idea!!
@@susanb5058 I wrap it just to slow me down from eating a barrel of it😂Thx
LOL
@@CatherinesPlates 😁
@@lindahumes9483 lol I hear ya, it’s hard to stop with this one! Have a blessed day! 😊
I love tuna macaroni salad, thanks for sharing❤️
I make the same salad, only I use small half inch chunks of seeded cucumber instead of the peas. Along with a squeeze of lemon juice. It really gives it a nice bright flavor.
It looks great, going to make it. The only thing I'll change in it is the Mayo. I'm a die-hard Hellman's fan! 😅
That sounds perfect 😋
The forgotten salad. Good to see it's still is around. Love the salad. A good side dish.
Agreed - my Grandma used to make in the 70s (when I was growing up) - very 50s, 60s, 70s dish. I am keeping it going in my family, though - at Fourth of July for sure!
I've been craving Tuna Macaroni salad for a couple weeks but was too lazy to make it. I think you have given me the impetus to finally get moving on this. Looking good, Catherine, and just perfect for a hot summer day.
I agree. I can eat this for days with the first helping being warm still😋
She is good, isn't she!! I particularly like the way she explains her recipes, does not leave anything out, also gives you very good tips along the way, shes also funny too!!! Isge is my go 2 woman for deliciousness!!!!!!
Love pasta salad
I've never made this before but I'm sure going to try this one. I love tuna. ❤
Thank you Catherine for all your Videos. I watch them all to learn how to cook. Your Videos really help me learn to cook. I love them all. Thank you for teaching me. Love to watch ALL your videos to learn how to Cook.
You're welcome.
Thats been a favorite of mine since I was little. My grandma got me hooked on it. We'd come from out if town to visit my grandparents & she'd always have this same, big glass serving bowl FULL to the brim with cold tuna noodle salad. She made it very similar to yours, but no pickle relish & lots of eggs cut up in the salad, but the entire top was covered in sliced hard boiled eggs and sprinkled with paprika. She made it the day before we would get there & wouldn't let anybody have any till I got there & had the first plate! (MY poor grandpa❤️) She loved green onions so there was always a lot of those in there and she put really thin slices of radishes cut in half. She never got the peas heated up, just drained a frozen bag in a strainer to get any ice off. Basically just rinsed them to separate them. I do that to this day because they stay nice & firm that way & also seem to help the salad start to chill a little faster. My mom makes it basically the same way still, but has decided she likes seedless red grapes cut in half in hers. I like it that way too, but never think to put it in my own batches somehow. I think I could eat my way thru a big bowl of this stuff every week in the summer! By myself!! 🤣🤣 It's just always been my favorite. I also make the dressing in a separate bowl & mix everything together but the tuna & eggs. Once I have plenty of dressing on the noodles & veggies, I fold in the tuna & eggs so they don't get so broken up by folding it all together. I like them to stay in bigger chunks. But get those sliced eggs on top as a garnish, cover it loosely with plastic wrap & give it a couple hours in the fridge & WATCH OUT! YUMM! 🤣
Thanks for the walk down memory lane!! Miss my grandma every single day & she's been gone since 1985. Nobody spoils ya like grandma, right? 🥰🥰
God bless. 🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing a memory with me.
All of my grandparents are gone now, as well as my parents. I miss them all very, very much too. Love your memory of Grandma!
Great video, easily explained. I’m not a fan of peas, but the rest sounds wonderful. Have you ever made a version with red grapes and toasted pecans? They worked well in a chicken pasta salad that I made recently, so I would mainly be switching out the chicken for tuna. So many options, it’s confusing at times. 😂
Yea! You’re right! I pray that we have more people like you who remember their grandmas. It is a blessing to have them around and get spoiled if they are given the chance to do so, sometimes they are limited and not be able to spoil their grandchildren as much as they would like to. That’s today’s world for us. But I’m sure grandparents will always be remembered when they are gone, sadly it will be too let for them to spoil their grandchildren. Prayers and thoughts for all grandparents of today.

Wow I want a delicious pasta macaroni salad thanks for preparing
I LOVE this macaroni salad....so does my family. I've made this so many times already and will continue to make it. Thanks Catherine.❤
I love tuna Mac salad! I will be making this recipe. Thank you!
We had a recipe years ago called Tuna Pea Salad. We used a shell shaped macaroni because the shells were perfect to have the peas and other ingredients inside the shells. We had chopped red onion with finely chopped celery with salt and pepper and a good quality mayo. If we used water packed tuna and we used a bit of olive oil to stir through the pasta before adding the mayo. We did not use albacore or white tuna as the chunk light has the darker more flavorful tuna. This salad is better the day after you make it and it has been in the frig overnight. We never used eggs. I always thought this was a southern recipe since almost everyone that tasted it loved it but had never heard of this before. It's really good.
❤l love your tuna salad thank you for sharing your recipe
Looks amazing! It's like a complete meal! 😋🤤😋
I just bought frozen peas so I can make this! This is my favorite salad in the summer. Thank you for your energy making this wonderful dish.
Looks delicious Catherine 😋 thank you 😋 have a wonderful day family 💕🥰💝
It’s a great summer time salad, I add two TBLS of sour cream. Thanks for sharing.👍❤️
This is one of my all time favorite salads. It is pouring rain in SoCal so I think I will make it. Thanks Catherine!
It's pouring rain here too.
The game changer I this salad is the addition of the peas. Takes it from ho hum to oh yum!!
Lovely, colourful and appetizing salad.
Please will like to see more salad recipes for the summer.
I just made this to bring to a fourth of July picnic. Is so good . Thank you I love cold salad in the summer. I didn't have tuna so I used two cans of chicken
I've never heard of Tuna Macaroni Salad. This looks so good, and I must make it soon!
Your mac salad with tuna and other dressings is just wonderful! It’s exactly how mac salad was made when I was growing up, back in the day, in Hawaii…..
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tuna Marconi Noodle Salad absolutely delicious! Thank you for ALL the things!!
Its so simple and very tasty a good food. 👍👍👍
I love Tuna salad, I make it all the time, but you have a lot of good ideas thank you. Yes more salads.
I have made tuna Mac salad with peas for 45 years. I add dill weed and onion powder to the mayo. No relish. A little shredded carrot. No eggs. I guess we all have variations, but sooo good!
I make this and tuna noodle casserole all the time. My grandkids love them 💜.
Catherine, I love all of your recipes. You’re the best. Want to try your Tuns Salad Recipe for sure! Thank you so much!
You're welcome.
Made this and it was excellent. Now that it's Lent. its perfect for lunch....
Your salad looks great. My mom made this salad, she used scallions instead of red onions, otherwise just like yours. Our family loved it!
I lovvvve tuna pasta salad! I like to add a little yellow mustard and red wine vinegar also. So yummy. 😋
I took your advice, sort of 😀, and added Dijon mustard. Pretty good 👍🏻
@@karenkirk3185 nice!
Never done it with tuna, I'll have to try that.
I have however made it with cooked chicken, chunk ham or spam, and one time left over Turkey from Thanksgiving.
All great options!
Wanna try that
Your tuna salad looks very yummy!👍🏆
Thank you 😋
I made this recipe and it was delicious !!! Thank you Catherine. It was delicious !!
Glad you liked it!!
I make mine the same way minus the celery, I use bell peppers but I'm going to try the celery. Will let you know how it turns out, thanks for sharing
A little squeeze of lemon juice or a tablespoon or so added with the mayo and relish would be really good, too. So would adding the zest from the lemon, also. Great video/recipe....will be making your version of Tuna Macaroni Salad for sure!
O00ooó0ó09o9llllllllll
I add lemon juice, sometimes I add a packof dried Italian dressing or a pack of ranch & Duke's Mayo makes all the difference, cut up chucks of cheddar cheese & pimento
A little pemento also adds color.
This is exactly the way I have always made it. It tastes really, really good. Sometimes I use alcohol or half Albuquerque and half-light tuna. It also tastes great if you WA' eat it cold or hot. This is great. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe. And the measurements that you have told us helps people that have never made this. Thank you I can't wait for more of your great recipes🤗
I love the small shells with this
I've made mine exactly the same as yours for many years now. My Granny used to make it for us as kids and she taught me how. I love all of your videos Catherine. 🥰 Keep them coming! ❤
I'm glad you like my videos.
I love the cold dishes in the summer. Thank you. 🎉😂
I love tuna macaroni salad❤ This looks like winner!! I like green pimento olives & cheddar cheese in mine🤗
Excellent my dear ❤
The tiny ring noodles are the best in this salad!! That way the pasta does not take over the other flavors!
My son makes this for me. He uses corkscrew macaroni and also puts radishes in it. It's so good.
We're having our Family BBQ next weekend and I think I'll try this one instead of my regular Mac-Salad, can't wait. Thanks as always for sharing and have a wonderful day!!!
It's a really good salad yum 😋 !!
I could eat this one all day! Yummy.
Thank you 😋
10:30 in the morning and I’m wanting this!❤️
Oh wow looks delish 😮
I make my tuna/pasta salad just like yours but add one more ingredient which is cubes of cheddar cheese. Also my peas go in without boiling... frozen peas.
Thanks for sharing your recipe 😊
Catherine, the tuna macaroni salad looks delicious..I have to try this one…TFS 😘😍
Going to give this a try later this week
I have been making it for years. It's a winner
Your tuna macaroni salad is just like my mom used to make! Now I make it My husband LOVES it! I always forget about the peas! Thanks for the reminder 😊
You're welcome.
🎉yummy
Thanks for the suggestion of using crabmeat!😁👍🏻
Hallo Catherine, I am South-African and here our favourite, locally made mayonise has a sweet taste and our South-African palate prefers that delicious, tangy, sweet taste. So when preparing a tuna salad, we’ll skip the sweet relish.
Love your clips! Thank you.
Good morning Catharine. Tuna salad is delicious anytime of the year. It goes a long way. Very inexpensive. 🥰
This looks so good
If your bowl isn't big enough for combining, you can use a roaster pan or a big pot.
I'm not sure I've ever had macaroni salad with Tuna.. I'm going to try this one! Might add a little bit of cubed, sharp cheddar. I used to make a macaroni & cheese with tuna and peas for my kids when they were young and they loved it.
Make sure to not use Wisconsin cheese. It ruins this dish. Any other cheese is OK. Illinois Washington or Vermont cheeses are good choices
@@bumblebee623 how can Wisconsin cheese 🧀 ruin it ? Iam pretty sure it would be according to taste 👅 may not be that way for everyone js
Me too, though I cooked peas separate because I had some that didn’t like peas. Weird because they both LOVED to eat sugar snap peas right off the plants!!🙄🤣
They have a tuna helper with mac. It's good!
Perfect summer salad! I mix a few dashes of Tabasco and the juice from a couple limes into the mayo and leave out the relish. Goes great with jalapeño kettle chips and an icy cold glass of your favorite beverage.
Your variation to this recipe seems like it would be quite flavorful. ❤
thank you Catherine❤ yay .Iam inspire to make it today 💕😋
God bless you & family
Love all your recipe ..easy to make !
It looks delicious
Hola Catherine, hice estos maracones con tuna para mi esposa y mi hijo y quedaron encantados.
Gracias por compartir tú receta exquisita. Volveré hacer esta receta el día viernes santos para mi familia.
Saludos y gran abrazo desde la ciudad de Panamá 🤗🤗💪💪👍🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦
Colorful and all those delicious flavors! Great idea for these hot summer days.👍😋
I love tuna macaroni salad! I have problems with raw onions, so usually use chopped green onions; and I like to add chopped pimientos
Thank you for Sharing your recipes, God bless
I do pretty much the same thing, I add pimentos and less macaroni! Yep it is delicious!
My son made macaroni salad yesterday with imitation crab meat. It is delicious. I used to make it with diced ham. It really is a versatile summer dish.
❤❤
Thanks for sharing, I got to try it too, because I love crab salad ❤❤
Ooo...I have imitation crab in my freezer. Now I know what to make!!
I would live that recipe plz
I love Tuna macaroni salad miss Catherine I was going to make this for lunch next week and your recipe looks delicious 😋

I love this recipe ...I add a couple extra ingredients...carrots and cucumbers too...my family loves it
One of my favorite salads
Love your salad must try it so delicious
I've never had macaroni salad with tuna. I actually have never made macaroni salad before, though I've eaten some a friend made, but hers was too sweet. This is a perfect recipe for these hot days in Texas.
My Italian step mother would make this for me when I was a kid except she used a spiral pasta. That was over 45 years ago. This may be an oldie but it's certainky a goodie. ❤
Hi, I do it just like yours but with one added addition.. shredded cheddar cheese. Scrumptious!
Just the way I like it. Been a cook all my life but like to watch how other people do things, I can still learn something, and I have.
So true.
