Excellent! So refreshing and tasty! I added broccoli, peas, carrots, celery, radishes, and onion! All the veggies and tuna make it so healthy and delicious! Will make often!

I have been looking for a good tuna pasta salad and have found it in this recipe. Made this for a Mother's Day luncheon. Followed recipe exactly, will make again and will probably add some celery next time.

After reading the other reviews,I decided to add ranch dressing for more kick(used less mayonnaise)generous amounts of garlic salt and pepper,and tossed broccoli florets and bell pepper instead of the peas.It turned out delicious!

Did not care for this. To much tuna. Maybe I would have liked it with 1 can of tuna. Needs more mayo. It seemed dry.

Great recipe. Very similar to what I was used to as a child. I too used the sea shell macaroni as well as Miracle Whip. I also add some celery salt, as I can not STAND the crunchy texture of celery in a dish. (Love it by itself though!)To me, this dish is best when it's been in the fridge for a couple of hours and is nice and cold. You may have to add a little more miracle whip, as it tends to get soaked up by the macaroni. This is a good thing though...flavors infused. BTW...it's not supposed to be the life-of-the-party, folks...only a side dish. It's ok if it's 'simple'...it's supposed to be! :o)

We use 1cup dry small shell pasta cooked and drained. Add a couple of dashes of dill weed,salt, pepper, and if desired dry minced onion or onion powder to taste, only one diced egg, 1 stalk of celery thinly sliced,(taste and adjust Mayo and seasonings) 1/2 cup cubed mild cheddar cheese, and 1/2 can drained canned peas..have to fold in gently after it's all mixed well. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

This was a good salad, however it really needs the celery and green onions for texture and flavor. I felt the dressing needed something, so I added 3T of bottled Caesar dressing and a teaspoon of prepared horseradish sauce. Thanks Ann.

"Good" and basic cold pasta salad. My boyfriend wouldn't touch it - he's not a huge fan of tuna but everyone else seemed to enjoy it. I used miracle whip instead of mayo (and added to taste). Also, I added a jar of diced pimentos for color and some chopped celery for some crunch. A good side to our homemade sub sandwiches.

This has long been one of my favorite pasta salads...my mom made it when I was younger, butw that I'm working full-time, it is one of the best make-ahead lunches I've found yet! Add mayonaisse to taste...I don't like much, but my husband is a HUGE mayo fan and always douses his portions with an extra heap. Green pepper is another colorful addition.

I really liked this recipe. It took me a little less prep time than the recipe called for. It was extremely simple and my two children, 5 and 7, enjoyed making it with me. And it is a very yummy cold pasta salad. Great for picnics. Can whip up in a flash!

This is good, it was a little dry for my particular taste, but no biggie, I just added a little more mayo. I also used canned chicken breast (Swanson) instead of the tuna to please my picky children. Next time, I'll add some diced green onion. Thanks for sharing Ann!

I added 2 chopped stalks of celery, onion powder, used twice the salt and pepper, and used miracle whip instead of mayonaise, which I also used twice as much of, and it still felt like it was missing something. I will try it with tomatoes the next time.

This was nothing spectacular, just a very basic macaroni salad recipe. It definitely needs celery for that extra crunch. I added some spices, celery salt, cayenne, and garlic powder to kick it up a bit, as well as a bit of ranch dressing mixed in with the mayo. It was good with the additions, but very basic and bland without them. This recipe needs some work, but it's a good starting point.
