Seacoast Salad (Tuna Macaroni)

Submitted by Wildflour

"This is a very old recipe that I originally got off of the side of a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese more than 25 years ago. I make this when I tire of plain tuna macaroni and want all the "junk" back in it! LOL! When you get bored, too, this is a nice change of pace! Very easy to make. (*Since Kraft has changed their formula so much over the years, I now use Velveeta Shells and Cheese, or make homemade macaroni and cheese using the velveeta recipe.) So whatever you prefer is what you should use. HTH! :)"

I to got this recipe off the Kraft Macaroni & Cheese box approximately 25 years ago & have making it every summer since then. The only thing I change is the pickle relish. I find that sometimes pickle relish makes it too runny so instead of draining it (like some people do), I'll use cut up sweet pickles.

So happy to find this recipe - I lost my copy years ago. It was a favorite when my children were growing up. It does make a nice 'change of pace'!

Bless you! I love this recipe and have made it many times over the years until I lost it. Now I have it again and I'm going to make it as soon as I get to the grocery store.
