Tuna, Noodles, Pickles and Cheese
Description
This tuna, noodles, pickles, and cheese recipe is reminiscent of a cold macaroni or potato salad. My grandma used peas instead of pickles in her version.
Ingredients
•
8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
•
6 ounces Colby-Jack cheese, cubed
•
2 dill pickles, chopped
•
1 (5 ounce) can albacore tuna in water, drained and flaked
•
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
•
1/2 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
•
1 teaspoon dill pickle juice
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Rinse under cold running water, then drain well, and pat lightly with paper towels.
2
Combine macaroni, Colby-Jack cheese, pickles, tuna, mayonnaise, and mustard in a large bowl; season with pickle juice, salt, and black pepper.
3
Cover bowl; refrigerate before serving, at least 30 minutes.
