Notes

Nutritional calculations are estimated and may vary depending on serving size and ingredients.
Veggies - I like to add the red bell pepper in the macaroni and tuna salad to give it an additional sweetness and flavor. However, my kids don't like the red bell pepper. My grandma's original recipe did not include the red bell pepper.
Mayonnaise - I make this recipe using real mayonnaise and not Miracle Whip. Miracle Whip will produce a much different flavor.
