Macaroni salad recipe

This is my family favorite. We all love it, it's super simple and great to just have in the fridge.

1 lb pasta shapes any kind is fine(I've been using free pasta I've been getting with coupons)
1 recipe of good seasons italian dressing*
15 oz(or so) sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
2 cans tuna or 1/2 lb cooked chicken

optional:
relish(I love!)
black olives
chopped cucumbers
chopped pickles

I boil the pasta, don't cook it too long. Drain and mix in a big bowl with the prepared good seasons dressing, tuna/chicken, and salt and pepper. Cool in the fridge. When it is completly cooled mix in the sour cream and any optional mix-ins. Enjoy!

It took some convincing to get my husband to try it as it's not your "normal" pasta salad, but once he did it is now something he requests often.

* The good seasons italian dressing is a packet mix of dressing. It is by the dips in the grocery store. Make it according to the directions on the packet.

I hope you enjoy!

  1. Hi, Eryn! This Macaroni Salad looks yummy! I'll have to try it.

    Thanks for stopping by Surviving the Stores and commenting on my post! I appreciate it!

    I had no idea what made the baking soda work, so thank you for letting me know! I also did not know that it would get the green out of your hair. That is awesome!

    Thanks again!
