Ever have those times when you just throw a bunch of ingredients together and come up with one of the best dishes ever? This happened in our house not too long ago.

Sure to make a hit at your next get together or just a family dinner this simple concoction is sure to please. A little tuna, noodles, mayo and ranch go a long way and make a quick and easy meal. The secret ingredient is definitely the Starkist Creations Tuna so make sure not to skimp on that one.

Ingredients:
Starkist Tuna Creations Zesty Lemon Pepper
2 cups Elbow Macaroni
1 cup Miracle Whip
1/4 cup Ranch Dressing

Directions:
1. Prepare macaroni as directed.
2. Mix macaroni with Miracle Whip and Ranch. Mixture should be nice and creamy. More or less of each to taste.
3. Mix in the tuna, making sure it is even throughout the entire dish.

Makes 6-8 servings. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Additional Options:
1. For a cold Tuna Noodle Salad dice up and add your favorite veggies including tomatoes, green pepper, onion and cucumber.

2. Top with a slight sprinkle of shredded cheese

This particular little dish can be good both warm and cold. Personally, I recommend it warm for the first sitting then eating it as a cold macaroni salad for leftovers (reheating mayonnaise is not a suggested practice).
