  1. guestfan REVIEW:

    I tried this recipe 2 years ago on New Year's and it was wonderful. It is a simple dish but it has become a favorite at home. Thought I should write a review. Thanks!

  2. Valerie REVIEW:

    I used Dreamfield's (lower carb) elbow macaroni, the pre-shredded cabbage for cole slaw, and pre-shredded carrots (yes, I was too lazy). I also used fat-free mayo. Because I used a spicy mustard I dropped the amount of vinegar by half. The recipe doesn't state to chill this after assembling but I highly recommend it. I tasted it after it was first assembled and you could serve it at that temperature, but it was so much better when chilled. In fact, it was even better than that the next day. I liked this recipe because the combination of textures were sort of unexpected. The flavors were perfectly balanced (didn't even need to add any additional salt). Again, I recommend chilling it or making it a day ahead of time. Also, if you use tuna like albacore chunk, make sure to flake it well or the chunks of tuna could be dry. Don't use the squishy, mushy kind of tuna though - you need something that can be flaked and hold its shape a little.
