Pastas with Tuna and Mayonnaise

Pastas, tuna and mayonnaise ?!? I have been cooking this salad for quite a while with a lot of success. Last time I made it for a charity where the money collected were donated  to the 57357 Hospital ( for children with cancer). Some people buying were circumspect  because the association between these 3 main ingredients but I'm guaranteeing you that is delicious.  The recipe I received it long time ago from a  nice lady and I am very thankful to her for that !  Here is what you need :
v  1 package of pastas ( I prefer small ones)
v  1 or 2 cans of tuna chunks
v  cucumber pickles ( as much as you like )
v  1 can of corn
v  mayonnaise ( as much as needed )
v  pinch of salt ( if needed )
v  some vinegar ( if you feel you need more sour taste)

 The pastas are boiled as instructed on the package.   After boiling , must be well washed with cold water and drained very well. Let pastas aside to cool. Mean time , cut the cucumber in small pieces ( be sure to be well drained too). Remove the oil from the tuna. In  a big bowl add your cucumber , the cans of tuna and the can of corn. When the pastas cooled add them in the bowl.  Now is time to incorporate your mayonnaise. About the mayonnaise I didn't specify any quantity because I am making my own mayonnaise and I don't know the exact quantity. I am making my own mayonnaise using a hand mixer , the so called "1 minute mayonnaise" in which  I add some garlic too. I shall post the recipe later on . Is perfect ! So,  add mayonnaise as much as needed for your salad and add the salt or vinegar only if needed ! 
This recipe is dedicated to Ms. Ola who specially requested it ! 
The salad taste even better the next day !
Enjoy !
