I make one that is not only yummy, but easy too! Take cooked & drained macaroni & place in mixing bowl. Add 1 can tuna - drained & toss together. In small cup, take 1/2 mayo & stir in a little mustard & 1 packet dry ranch mix. Pour dressing over pasta & toss to coat. You can add frozen peas & carrots that have been thawed & drained, chopped onion, broccoli, or anything else you have on hand......Enjoy!

I make a big batch in my Dutch oven. I boil tri color rotini (but you can use mac or shells), & drain. Stir in 1-2 cans drained tuna, mayo (to taste, I don't measure), peas, chopped onions, sliced mushrooms, sliced black olives, salt & pepper, to tatste - stir & refrigerate a few hours to mix flavors.

You can add in whatever you like & have on hand - sun-dried tomatoes, diced celery, shredded carrots, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, sliced roasted sweet red peppers, etc.
