Tuna and Macaroni Salad
- 8 ounces uncooked macaroni noodles
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 (6-ounce) can tuna
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the macaroni.
- Cook over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes, or until just cooked.
- Place the frozen peas in a colander and drain the macaroni by pouring it over the peas.
- Drain the tuna and place it in a large bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise and stir until well combined.
- Add the macaroni and peas to the bowl and stir until the macaroni is completely coated with the mayonnaise.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cover the salad with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it.
- A colander is shaped like a bowl and has lots of little holes for draining or straining liquid out of foods.
- A fine-meshed sieve is generally smaller and has a metal mesh with very fine holes.
- Which one we choose to use depends on the amount of food we are draining or how large the stuff is that we are trying to strain out.
- A colander is larger and works well for draining pasta or vegetables, but a fine-meshed sieve works best for straining lumps out of gravy.
- (Not that we ever have that problem.)
