Macaroni salad is a staple on Hawaiian lunch plates. And now, it can be a staple in your weekly meal rotation, too. Chef Kristy makes hers with al dente elbow pasta tossed with diced carrots and onions in a mayonnaise-based sauce, but then she adds a secret ingredient that can take this salad from side to main: canned tuna. Not only does it pump up the protein, the tuna adds savory flavor to the dish. Pair it with fresh green salad and enjoy a cool, creamy, refreshing summer meal.
