Tuna Pasta Salad

Welcome to my first blog! Thanks for being here. Today I am making Tuna Pasta Salad. A delicious chilled side dish or lunch that kids will eat up and adults will be surprised at how simple it is to make. A true picnic/BBQ favorite. Thanks Mom, for making this one of my favorites growing up...Love you! Also, thanks Grandma Katie for teaching my Mom. Love you all!

Here's what you'll need:
-boiling water (enough to cover the macaroni - about 6 cups) - plus a "splash" of olive oil to prevent sticking.
-2 cups of Elbow Macaroni
-2 cans of tuna in oil (you want tuna in oil since you get more healthy Omega's that way)
-relish (about 3 Tbsp)
-mayo (about 4-5 Tbsp) - depending on how creamy you want it.
-1 apple (red delicious) cut into small cubes

Begin by boiling the water. Then, once water is boiling, add the elbow macaroni. Boil for about 8-11 minutes on high - or until al dente (soft but still maintaining a "bite") Drain macaroni and rinse with cool water and drain again. While pasta is cooling combine 2 cans of tuna (drained) in a medium bowl with the remaining ingredients. Mix well with macaroni and refridgerate until cold. Serve chilled and enjoy.

That's it! Simple yet delicious...I promise you and your guests will love it.
