How to Make Tuna Or Chicken Macaroni Supper Salad
- Cook 1 pound elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain well.
- Rinse the cooked macaroni with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down quickly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, ½ cup Italian dressing, and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard. Mix until well combined.
- Add 1 medium cucumber, diced; 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved; 1 green bell pepper, diced; ½ cup green onion, thinly sliced; 1 teaspoon salt; ½ teaspoon black pepper; and 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained (or 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken).
- Gently fold in the cooked macaroni until evenly coated with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly.
- Before serving, toss in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and serve over a bed of mixed greens. Garnish with 1/2 cup chopped hard-boiled eggs.
