This macaroni cucumber salad has been in my family for generations, and I have never had anyone say they don’t love it. This is the best macaroni salad in the world — you just gotta try it to believe me!
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
- 1 (12 ounce) can tuna in water, drained and flaked
- 6 large hard-cooked eggs, chopped
- 2 large tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 large white onion, finely chopped
- 1 cucumber, finely chopped
- 3 cups creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip)
- ½ cup 2% milk
- ¼ cup white sugar, or to taste
- 3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoons ground black pepper, or to taste
- ½ tablespoon salt, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water to cool completely; drain.
Step 2
Mix together cooked macaroni, tuna, eggs, tomatoes, onion, and cucumber in a large bowl.
Step 3
Whisk together salad dressing and milk in a separate bowl until smooth. Mix in sugar, mustard, pepper, and salt until well combined; pour over macaroni mixture and stir to coat.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
