Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz elbow macaroni
  • 2 (5 oz) cans tuna, drained
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup finely diced celery
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Boil the macaroni in salted water until just tender, drain, and rinse under cold water until cool.
  2. Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Fold in the cooled macaroni, tuna, celery, red onion, and parsley until evenly coated.
  4. Spoon into a serving bowl, garnish with extra parsley and black pepper, and serve cold or after chilling.

Notes

For the best flavor, cover and chill the assembled salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. If the pasta absorbs too much dressing after a day in the fridge, stir in a small spoonful of mayo to bring it back to life.
