Tuna Macaroni Salad

                                                                             

This delicious Macaroni Salad may be used as a main course! It is loaded with Tuna and tastes great!


1, 16 Ounce Box Elbow Macaroni cooked according to package directions and drained
2, 12 Ounce Can Tuna Packed in Water Drained
3 Hard Boiled Eggs Peeled and Chopped, I do a larger dice but use what size you prefer
1/4 Cup Chopped Sweet Onion
3 Ribs Celery Chopped
3 Large Carrots Peeled and Chopped
2 Tsp Parsley Chopped or use Parsley Flakes

I a large Bowl place your cooked drain Macaroni. Then add everything to the bowl and stir. Now make the following dressing.

DRESSING:
2 & 1/2 Cup Mayo
1 & 1/2 TBS Prepared Yellow Mustard
3 TBS Vinegar
3 TBS Granulated Sugar 
Milk to suit the consistency you like. 
In a deep bowl add the may & Mustard and whisk it together, Add the Vinegar & Sugar and whisk again until sugar is dissolved. Now taste and se is you want your dressing sweeter or more tart. Add more sugar for sweeter or more vinegar for tart. I only add a little then whisk & taste again until it is they way I like it. I usually go for a more tart dressing but do this to suit you and your family. Now add a little milk until the dressing is as thick as a Ranch Dressing would be. Now stir in the dressing to your Macaroni mixture. If you do not need to use all the dressing keep the remainder if the refrigerator. Once the Macaroni Salad has chilled you might need to add more dressing  as the pasta will absorb a good bit. Chill the salad  at least 6 hours but overnight is best! This is really very good!
