½ cup mayonnaise * I use Hellman's ½ the fat
¾ cup green onions, chopped *about 5 green onions
184 g -can of tuna, flaked drained

Instructions

Cook macaroni as directed on box * I add a teaspoon of olive oil to the water I boil it in. This prevents it from sticking.
Once cooked, drain and cool. Refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. * If you are in a hurry, you can rinse the macaroni with cold water to cool it faster!
Drain tuna and add to cooked macaroni, along with mayonnaise and green onion. Stir until incorporated.

Garnish with additional chopped onion. Serve cold. *You're going to want to refrigerate it for a couple of hours.
