Simple and quick to put together. This is what I think of as a classic tuna macaroni salad. No frills or anything fancy; just yummy. I used fresh onions in place of the onion flakes but that's all I changed. Thanx for sharing!

Wow, the ingredients seemed too simple to be anything worth getting excited over, but I was wrong! I lessed the salt, added a little black pepper and only used 1 1/2 cup dry noodles. This is, to me, the perfect tuna macaroni salad. I'd like to see more of your grandma's recipes! THANKS!
