Today on The Stay At Home Chef
I'm showing you how to make Tuna Macaroni Salad.
Millions of people around the world 
have loved my recipe for macaroni salad.
Today I'm putting a little spin on things
and giving you a tuna version 
that you'll love just as much.
To start you'll want to get 1 pound of macaroni pasta cooking in a large pot according to package directions.
That should take about 7 to 8 minutes.
Meanwhile we're gonna put together our sauce.
Macaroni Salad is all about the sauce.
I start with 1/2 cup of mayo.
You want just enough Mayo but not too much.
You don't want it to be overpowering,
followed by 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar,
2 tablespoons of sweet pickle relish,
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard,
1-2 tablespoons of sugar to balance the acidity,
1 teaspoon of salt,
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper,
and then my favorite ingredient: 1/4 cup of minced dill.
Whisk this all together.
Dill is especially good paired with tuna 
so this is gonna be super delicious.
Next you'll want to drain your pasta 
and then we'll rinse it with cold water.
You want to rinse off all the starchiness so the pasta doesn't stick together,
and you want your noodles to be nice and cooled off,
and then pour your pasta into the  bowl with the sauce.
Then it's time for all of our fixings.
You'll need three 5 ounce cans of tuna,
and I like to use a high quality tuna for this.
It makes a really big difference so I use 
solid white albacore.
So I'll scoop that in and then  our other fixins: 5 hard boiled eggs that if diced up,
1 cup of thawed frozen peas,
4 ribs of diced celery for some crunch,
and half of a red onion,
and I've minced that so it's nice and small.
Then all that's left to do is stir this all together.
You want to really dig deep down in there so they get your sauce.
Make sure everything gets evenly dispersed.
Cover the bowl with some plastic wrap and then we'll pop that in the fridge
and let it chill for one hour.
Then after an hour when it's nice and chilled 
we're ready to serve,
so I'm gonna actually transfer mine to a serving bowl so it's a little bit prettier and then we are ready to eat!
