How to Make Sea Island Tuna Salad
- Bring 2 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add 2 heaping teaspoons of salt.
- Add 1 pound of Creamettes macaroni to the boiling water.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- In a large bowl, stir in 8 ounces of Cheese Whiz until well combined and slightly cooled.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise (or salad dressing), 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon celery salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Add the mayonnaise mixture to the macaroni and cheese whiz mixture. Gently stir to combine.
- Gently fold in 2 (5 ounce) cans of tuna, drained; 1/2 cup finely chopped celery; 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion; and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional).
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
