Tuna Macaroni Salad

Submitted by *Parsley*

"Yup, another tuna macaroni salad. I really like this one, though. I always use mild curry powder to keep it "crowd-friendly". I've never made it with a hotter, spicer curry powder so I can't recommend it. Like most macaroni salads, you'll probably want to moisten it with some milk before serving.... especially the next day."

This was very good, but a little sweet for our taste. I will make again, because I did like all the crunchy veggies in it, I'll just leave out the sugar next time.

Wow!! Making this was a walk down memory lane. My mother used to make a tuna macaroni salad while I was growing up probably at least monthly. My kids don't care for tuna so I haven't had this for more than 20 years. I decided to make half the recipe and enjoy it for lunches this week. I left out the radishes as I forgot to get them and left the curry out of the dressing, otherwise made as written. Thanks Parsley for a great macaroni salad!!!!

Since there are two of us I halved this recipe. I also changed it quite a bit but only due to what I had on hand or rather didn't and personal taste. I didn't have sour cream so I used low fat ranch dressing instead. I also don't care for curry or radishes so I left those out. I added bon appetit seasoning, garlic salt, lemon pepper and some mustard. It turned out great thanks for what we called Tuna Salad Medley.
