Quick and Easy Lunch Idea: Macaroni and Tuna Salad

If you’re racking your brain with what to make for lunch for you and your family and want to eat something healthier than mac and cheese. I'm not knocking mac and cheese. It's a delicious family meal and household staple. But not ideal on the daily. So, on days when you feel you need something different, a bit healthier and just as filling may I recommend this wonderfully quick and easy Macaroni and Tuna salad. It's super yummy and a hit with the kids!
