Answer 3

Macaroni Salad

Answer 4

If you are making macaroni salad, then leave out the Tuna because that makes something else. I make macaroni salad with a couple of sticks of finely chopped celery, a couple of hard boiled eggs, a 'light' mayo, a touch of stone ground mustard and, if I really want a zing, I'll use just a dash of basalmic vinegar... and, of course, salt and pepper to taste. If you still need a crunch you can toss in a dash of Bacos or equivalent.

Answer 5

U don't have to but I like it better with them. The tuns sets the whole thing off. Now it's Tuna macaroni salad. I love tuna macaroni salad

see what u did now u've made me want some. lol

Answer 6

Tuna and onion are yummy in a macaroni salad! Although I prefer penne to macaroni- gives it more bite=) But then again, my salad wouldn't be a "macaroni" salad... lol

Answer 7

The macaroni salads I've had have had either both eggs and tuna, or just the tuna, I think.

Answer 8

Adding a can of tuna would make it "Tuna" salad - now wouldn't it? Whatever, ya' can just about put anything, added to macaroni, and call it a "macaroni salad", including tuna! I know that's confusing - but let me explain: We aren't just speaking of "Macaroni" - what we're actually speaking of is a "salad" - am I correct? "Salad" refers to a blended food item— often meat, seafood or eggs blended with mayonnaise, finely chopped vegetables and seasonings— which can be served as part of meal, or as a meal itself. In answer to your question: "Yes, you can put hard boiled eggs in macaroni salad!" Okay - so we have "greens" and "whatever" and we call it a "salad" - so there ya' have it! Enjoy!
