Macaroni Salad

I try other macaroni salads, but I always come back to this one. Make it at least one day in advance for the best flavor.

1 sm box elbow macaroni
1 med onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, diced
1-2 sm cans tuna fish, drained*
1 dash celery salt
1 dash onion salt
Salt and pepper, to taste
Miracle Whip (not mayonnaise)

Cook macaroni al dente (tender crisp). Drain and rinse well.

Add remaining ingredients, using just enough Miracle Whip to coat well. (You will have to add more dressing before you serve it, as the macaroni absorbs the dressing, and it will be dry). You just don't want to overload the dressing in these kinds of salads.

Chill overnight (or longer), to blend flavors.  Add additional Miracle Whip to make a moist salad. Sometimes I sprinkle paprika over the top just for color.

*You can use oil packed or water packed tuna, which ever you prefer. The oil packed tuna will deliver more flavor, but I usually use water packed because that's what I keep on hand.

Also, don't use mayonnaise. The lighter Miracle Whip just tastes better on some salads, and this would be one of them.
