Recipe: Sunshine Salad and Tuna Luncheon Dish (macaroni salad with tuna and pineapple)

SUNSHINE SALAD

1/2 lb. (3 cups) Prince rotini pasta, uncooked
1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cans (7 oz. each) tuna, drained and flaked
1 1/2 cups celery, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups cubed processed American cheese (Velveeta)
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1 cup chopped sweet pickles (note: this amount seems like too much, I would adjust amount to taste)

Cook rotini according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water; drain again.

Drain pineapple chunks; reserve 1/2 cup syrup, set pineapple aside.

Mix together 1/2 cup pineapple syrup, mayonnaise and salt. Pour over rotini. Chill at least 1 hour.

Add pineapple chunks and remaining ingredients. Mix. Chill before serving.

Makes 6-7 servings
