My mom used to make this when I was
a little girl, So as a tribute to her
I've typed the recipe up in purple...
( her favorite color)
I did modify it a bit though -
she used to use peas,
and I've replaced those with cucumber slices.
Boil & drain macaroni,
and rinse with cold water until noodles
are cooled.
Place macaroni into a large bowl.
Peel cukes and slice once lengthwise,
then slice lengths into 1/4" chunks.
Coarsely chop tomatoes in the same manner.
add the cukes & tomatoes to the noodles,
along with the drained tuna.
In a small bowl,
add the water and spices to the Mayo,
and mix well with fork or wire whisk.
Add Mayo mix to macaroni and blend everything together.
Gently fold in coarsely chopped eggs,
and sprinkle with a touch more paprika.
Dig in or refrigerate for later!
(covered with foil or wrap that is)
