Macaroni Tuna Salad

Sharing is caring!

I have to mention that this is definitely one of my favorite summer side dishes. I like my macaroni salad loaded with eggs and tuna, it’s how my mom always made it. This macaroni salad along with some grilled steak is one of my many summer guilty pleasures.

You can also add some chives if you’d like, I didn’t for this recipe but I usually do if I have it on hand.  Whatever you do, serve this with some grilled steak. Preferably Argentinian style Churrasco with Chimichurri.
