TUNA, NOODLES, PICKLES AND CHEESE

Tuna, Noodles, Pickles and Cheese image

This recipe came from my grandmother, who used peas in her version instead of pickles. My mother changed the recipe and I have altered it even more. The flavors of these ingredients blended together in what is reminiscent of a cold macaroni or potato salad will be your family's new favorite!
