Tuna Macaroni Salad
Make a Joyful Table p. 143
If your family LOVES macaroni and cheese, I'm sure they'll cheer this tasty salad. The recipe easily adds extra pizzazz to that beloved classic by stirring in tuna and egg, then makes it sparkle with one of my favorite additions: pickle relish! This is a great picnic dish too.
1 1/3 cups (3 oz) uncooked elbow macaroni
1 cup water
3/4 cup (3 oz) shredded Kraft reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup skim milk
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (6 oz) can white tuna, packed in water, drained and flaked
1/4 cup Kraft fat-free mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
In a medium saucepan, cook macaroni in water until tender. Drain and return warm macaroni to saucepan. Add Cheddar cheese, skim milk, parsley flakes, and black pepper. Mix well to combine. Continue cooking over medium heat until cheese melts, stirring often. Remove from heat. Pour mixture into a medium bowl. Stir in tuna, mayonnaise, and pickle relish. Fold in egg. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Gently stir again just before serving.
Hint: If you want the look and feel of egg with the cholesterol, toss the yolk and dice the white.
