Ingredients

8 servings

  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup chopped pimento peppers
  • 5 tablespoons dill pickle relish
  • 2 tablespoons chow-chow (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 ribs celery, diced
  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 (6.5 ounce) jars tuna packed in oil

Instructions

  • Place diced onion in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes. Drain into a colander.
  • While onion soaks, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain into the same colander as red onion and run under cold water to stop cooking and cool to room temperature.
  • Place mayonnaise, pimentos, relish, chow-chow, mustard, Cajun seasoning, and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add pasta, red onion, and celery and stir to combine. Gently fold in tuna and eggs to combine.
