Southern-inspired macaroni salad with oil-packed tuna, chow-chow, and hard-boiled eggs - perfect for picnics and parties!
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup diced red onion
  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.5 cup chopped pimento peppers
  • 5 tablespoons dill pickle relish
  • 2 tablespoons chow-chow (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 ribs celery, diced
  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 (6.5 ounce) jars tuna packed in oil
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, soak diced onion in cold water for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander.
  • Once the onion is soaking, start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until it's tender yet firm to the bite, approximately 8 minutes. Drain the macaroni into the same colander as the red onion and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it to room temperature.
  • Combine mayonnaise, pimentos, relish, chow-chow, mustard, Cajun seasoning, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in pasta, red onion, and celery. Gently fold in tuna and eggs.
