Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water to cool completely; drain.

Mix together cooked macaroni, tuna, eggs, tomatoes, onion, and cucumber in a large bowl.

Whisk together salad dressing and milk in a separate bowl until smooth. Mix in sugar, mustard, pepper, and salt until well combined; pour over macaroni mixture and stir to coat.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
