Mac Salad

This combination of pasta, seafood, and vegetables smothered in a creamy dressing makes this recipe unique. This is one of the salads you would make to complement your mains, or it also works excellent for food sharing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces Dreamfields low carb elbow pasta, scant 1 cup dry
  • 1/2 medium cucumber, about 3 ounces after trimming
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 6-ounce cans of tuna, drained
  • 8 ounces small, cooked shrimp, optional
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 6 ounces grape tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  1. Cook the elbow macaroni according to the instructions on the package. Make sure not to overcook it otherwise your salad would be mushy.
  2. Drain and set aside to cool.
  3. Peel the cucumber and remove the seeds before you chop it into chunks. 
  4. Add the cooled macaroni, cucumber, mayonnaise, oil, salt pepper, shrimp, tuna, onion, and grape tomatoes to a mixing bowl. Toss to combine. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours so the flavors meld together. Serve and enjoy.
