This macaroni salad is great for lunch on its own, if you don't feel like cooking on those hot summer days. It's also a wonderful side for grilled food. I have perfected it -- after making many different types of macaroni salad, this one is my favorite. Enjoy!!

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil.

Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

Transfer the macaroni to a bowl, and cool in the refrigerator.

In a large bowl, lightly toss the tuna with celery, onion, and about 1 cup mayonnaise until combined, then stir in the remaining mayonnaise, macaroni, olives, and grape tomatoes.

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Let the salad chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
