Indulge in a delicious tuna cavatappi macaroni salad with creamy dressing and fresh veggies.
Ingredients:
  • 5 cups cavatappi pasta
  • 1 cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
  • 0.25 cup sour cream
  • 0.25 cup pickle juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey-Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 0.75 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 cup cubed Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
  • 1 (5 ounce) can flaked tuna, drained
Instructions:
  • 1. Boil a generous amount of lightly salted water in a large pot. 2. Cook cavatappi in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, for approximately 8 minutes. 3. Drain the pasta, rinse with cold water, and drain once more. 4. Allow the cavatappi to cool completely before using.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together salad dressing, sour cream, pickle juice, sugar, mustard, salt, garlic salt, and pepper. Add eggs, onion, bell pepper, celery, Cheddar cheese, ham, and tuna. Gently fold in cooled pasta until evenly coated. Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours, giving it a stir from time to time.
