Tuna-Noodle Salad My Way

Vseward (Chef~V)'s Note:

This is something I have been making for years for my family. Taking the fixins of a tuna sandwich and combining with pasta makes for a great lunch or side dish. Serve cold. My boys always ask for "tuna-noodle"

This is a very good recipe. Will make again. Tastes good with fresh tomatoes from the garden along side the salad. I put the salad on a bed of fresh spinach...yum!!

Ultimately, this turned out well, if a bit bland. Everyone ate it. However, I was frustrated with the amount of mayonnaise in the ingredient list. I realize that it says "add more if desired." I had to add a full cup of mayo (and some leftover super-gloppy tuna salad that DH had made) to even approach a decent consistency. This was time consuming as well because I had to keep adding and experimenting.

I magically cut this to 1 serving (thanks to Zaar) and used a single serving 3 oz envelope of albacore tuna, 1/2 cup whole wheat bow tie noodles, 1/2 boiled egg, a dash of dill weed instead of relish and a dash or 2 of everything else in this recipe! Best tuna noodle salad I ever made, I will make this often too. Thanks Chef V. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Game.
