TFNS

I hate seafood. Something about all types of seafood just sets my stomach on edge. That being said, I love tuna fish noodle salad. It's the only seafood containing meal I will eat and enjoy and ask for seconds. It's good. After making some for lunch today, I figured I'd share this very easy recipe with everyone :-)

Ingredients:
1  5oz can of Albacore Tuna (or your favorite tuna)
Mayonnaise
Relish
1 stalk of celery
3 cups elbow noodles
salt and pepper

1. Empty the can of tuna into a medium sized mixing bowl. Cut up the pieces of tuna with a fork. Add a few scoops of mayonnaise and mix. If you like a bit of tang to your food, add a scoop of Miracle Whip instead of plain mayo.
2. Mix in a couple scoops of relish.
3. Cut the celery in half length-wise. Then chop into small chunks and mix in with the tuna.
4. Boil the noodles until they are cooked to your liking. Strain the hot water. Rinse the noodles under cold water until cool. This is a cold dish. Trust me, mayo does not taste good warm.
5. Mix in the noodles. Add salt and pepper to taste.

3 Servings. Add more noodles to stretch for more people.

Sorry the pic is horrible quality (phone camera) and the food is half eaten (pic was after thought) but you get the idea...:-)

  1. Here's another quick one. I often use this as an easy side dish.

    Cook spaghetti noodles
    Rise in cold water
    Mix in fat free ranch (or any other dressing you prefer...ranch is a good general safe bet)
    Chill and serve

    Again, not too fancy but a great side dish for those guests where you're not quite sure as to their tastes yet.

  2. I tend to use Italian dressing :-) You can add in vegetables with it, it's delicious.
    Thanks Chris :-)
