Pretty good recipe, I doctored it up a bit by combining this recipe's ingredients with those of another tuna macaroni salad recipe on hand.

Honestly, I'm not sure where this recipe went wrong, but I have a hunch. It was SOOO bland! I followed this pretty close, except my pasta box was 14.5 oz instead of 12 and I chopped up only 2 stalks of celery (not a big fan)and added halved grape tomatoes when serving. I had to add a ton of salt and it just never tasted right....So disappointing because I was really excited about eating this. I think it was the mayo. I used light, but it was generic light(GV). Bad move on my part. I think if you just use light mayo-any light mayo, you are in for a disappointment. My tip? Go for a brand that you trust or the full fat :).I'm giving it 3 stars b/c I think if you do that, it has real potential.

This is a very good recipe. I gave it 4 stars because I made the following changes: I did not include the Italian dressing and instead used sweet relish and I also do not include the tomatoes until we're ready to eat it (or they get soggy if they sit for too long in the mixture), and I also use two cans of tuna instead of one. Add a little olive oil to the pasta after it's cooked/rinsed/drained. Keeps it moist. Very good recipe!!

My husband and I liked this receipe. Only gave it four stars because I couldn't make it as written. Didn't have mayonaise so replaced it with about 2/3 cup sour cream, upped the Italian dressing to 1/4 cup. Also added: lemon pepper, sliced black olives and some chopped red bell pepper. Great light summer meal.

Excellent salad - the whole family and our guests loved it. I cut the mayo to one cup and used pickles since I didn't have celery. I made it two days in advance, just adding the tomatoes right before serving, and it was fine. This will be our new favorite pasta salad.

This recipe was great! I made it for a work potluck and everybody loved it. I left out the tomato because I am not a fan and added crumbled cheddar cheese but that was all that I changed. This is a keeper! Thanks!

good starting point. in place of table salt, i added simply organic all-seasons salt (which consists of sea salt, paprika, cane sugar, garlic, onion, celery, oregano, & tumeric), and used minced shallot for a milder flavor than white or red onion. in the past i have also used less of the all-seasons salt and added a few TBS of ranch dressing. yum!

This is a good salad. I used the mayo made with olive oil, it tastes pretty similar to regular mayo. I had to omit the tomatoes (no raw tomato eaters here!). I added some diced cheddar for some extra flavor, and will add onion next time. The Italian dressing doesn't change the flavor that much. Good summer dish!

Delicious! I used bow-tie pasta because it was on hand and left out the tomatoes. I had been craving my mom's tuna salad and this is almost spot on!

Loved the taste of this recipe. Made exactly as stated but next time I will leave out the tomatoes and probably add peas. The taste was even better the next day. Thanks

This was weird. Not the cold macaroni tuna salad I expected. The tomatoes definitely watered down the salad. It says it serves 6, but it's more like 16, and I didn't even use all the noodles!

This was okay. I don't think I'd use tomatoes next time because they didn't really fit. Or at least what my memory of what cold tuna mac salad should be. But the flavor was good. My kids did not like it at all, but I won't hold it against the recipe. :)

This recipe is perfect for a hot day. I cooked the pasta in the morning before the day gets too hot. I used a tri-colour rotini and used fresh ground lemon pepper instead of ground black. The lemon was a great compliment to the tuna and the tri-colour pasta really made a pretty dish.
