Ingredients
  

  • 1 can tuna
  • Cheese shredded or cubed
  • Miracle Whip
  • Green onions sliced
  • dill fresh or dried
  • pasta of your choice – I like shells

Instructions
 

  • Cook pasta according to directions on box.
  • Drain in colander and rinse with cold water.
  • This is a cold salad for a hot day, so you can even add some ice cubes to speed the cooling.
  • Add tuna(drained) and mix well.
  • Add green onions and cheese of your choice.
  • Add Miracle Whip and then dill to your choice of flavor.
  • Cool in refrigerator until time for dinner.
  • I like to garnish with quartered Compari tomatoes and sliced hard boiled eggs.
  • Great on a day that feels too hot to eat! I like to serve with lemonade or iced ginger ale. Enjoy!
  • Keep leftovers in frig and add additional Miracle Whip to taste (if there are any leftovers!) Bon Appetit!

    Lori, why do you add ice cubes? Sounds weird and not necessary.

      I think the ice cubes are a good idea! It makes sense to chill the salad faster on a hot day. Plus, who doesn’t love cold food when it’s blazing outside?

    I made it exactly like the recipe, but added celery for some crunch. It was yum!

      Tuna salad? I dunno, tuna kinda smells weird, right? Maybe I’ll try it but I’m not super excited.

    Not so sure about the Miracle Whip… I prefer mayo. 😬
