"This tasty macaroni salad recipe gets you out of the kitchen fast! Couldn't be easier - just dump salmon, peas, and onions in a large bowl, and mix with mayonnaise and seasoning. Equally as delicious with canned chicken or tuna."

Original Recipe Yield 12 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
  • 10 1/2 ounces canned peas and pearl onions, drained
  • 2 (7 ounce) cans skinless, boneless salmon, drained and flaked
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook macaroni for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together macaroni, peas and onions, salmon, and mayonnaise. Season with onion powder, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Cover, and refrigerate 2 hours, or until well-chilled.

Footnotes

  • If canned peas and onions are not available in your area, substitute a thawed 10 ounce package of frozen peas and pearl onions.
  • You may want to reserve some of the mayonnaise to be incorporated after refrigeration to avoid drying out. Mix in remainder just before serving.
