Easy Potato Salad




Another childhood staple.  Basic, easy and definitely needed for a BBQ.
I won't include amounts because you just make as much as you want.

Potatoes - peel them or just wash, cut into bite-sized pieces and cooked
carrots - peeled and diced
celery - diced
radishes - diced
cucumber - diced
mayonnaise
salt and pepper
Hard boiled egg, chopped, if desired

Just throw it all together in a bowl and enjoy.


Tuna Macaroni Salad



This was a summer staple growing up.  Quick and simple, it makes me feel 10 years old again.

1 bag elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
1 can peas, drained
1 can tuna, drained and flaked
mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste
dust with paprika, to look pretty :)

Combine macaroni, peas and tuna in a bowl; add enough mayo to coat and season to your taste.  Dust top of salad with paprika.

Simple.
