My mom used to make this for us when we were kids and Dad was out of town. (He was a meat and potato guy). I've adjusted it a little to fit our taste. Cook time includes chill time.

Ingredients:

2 (6 ounce) cans light chunk tuna in water, drained

10 ounces macaroni (small shell)

1 cup frozen peas

1/2 cup chopped sweet onion

3/4 cup chopped celery

2 -3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, to taste

2 -3 medium dill pickles, chopped

2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

1 cup hellman's light mayonnaise (may add more)

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

salt and pepper (we all like this with a lot of pepper)

Directions:

1. Cook pasta according to directions.
2. Add the frozen peas to the pasta just before you take it off the stove to drain in the colander.
3. In a large bowl mix mayonnaise and vinegar.
4. Add pasta and peas and mix well.
5. Add remaining ingredients, mixing well.
6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Refrigerate for about an hour to chill before serving.
