Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

Combine ranch dressing, 2 tablespoons reserved olive juice, mayonnaise, garlic powder, adobo seasoning, and black pepper in a small bowl.

Pour dressing over macaroni; stir in olives, tuna, and bell pepper until well combined.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; chill in the refrigerator until serving.
