a quick easy recipe it to cook pasta in the usual manner, Cool slightly then add a bottle of thousand island dressing. It tastes wonderful just like that but also good if you add finely chopped peppers too. Goes great with tuna or something off the grill too.I'm looking for a recipe for a yummy pasta salad (no onions/no celery) that might be extra good w/ Tuna?
Pasta and tuna is good with either mayonnaise and sweetcorn or just with chopped tomatoes.I'm looking for a recipe for a yummy pasta salad (no onions/no celery) that might be extra good w/ Tuna?
I like to use the pasta that looks like nuggets. Add mayonaise, lemon juice, and the tuna and mix. Season with garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper. For a little extra flavor, add a couple tablespoons of relish.
