(1 rating)
This salad is delicious and one of my most requested...this is my very own recipe...am sure there are versions out there like it...but I've made this salad for years...I finally took the time to measure everything out to post the recipe...I usually add about 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese as well...I didn't today...it's also great with crab... I always have to make a small bowl of this for my Dad when I'm making regular mac salad...as this is his fave...I hope you enjoy it as much as we do...

How To Make chicken o the sea mac salad / cassies
-
1Prepare pasta - drain and rinse. In a large bowl, add the pasta, veggies, egg, tuna, peas, olives, pickles and eggs...toss lightly to mix trying not to break up the tuna to much.
-
2In another bowl, whisk all of the dressing ingredients. I taste and adjust seasonings if needed. I usually have it right on as far as taste...
-
3Pour the dressing over the Pasta mixture...toss lightly to blend well.I usually wait till right before serving to add sliced eggs and paprika, in case it needs more dressing. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with slices of egg and paprika. Enjoy! It's delicious.
