On The Side: Tuna Macaroni Salad
Too hot to cook? Too busy to cook? This recipe fits right in to a hectic summer schedule, and I didn't even have to go shopping - or leave the comfort of the air conditioning to go out on the porch and use the grill. I just raided the pantry, and used up the remaining farmer's market goodies from last week.
Some radishes, awesome bonito canned tuna, roasted fennel, and there's a cooked carrot hiding in there as well. Add a generous cup and a half of dry pasta that's been boiled and cooled.
Easy dressing of mayonnaise (3/4 cup), sugar (1TB), dry mustard (1/8 tsp), onion powder (1/4 tsp), garlic powder (1/4 tsp), celery salt (1/8 tsp). I added vinegar to taste until I had a sweet/sour dressing.

Chilled all the ingredients well before combining so that the pasta would not absorb all the dressing, and served with the pulled pork (it's almost all gone) and some cukes.
