TUNA TARRAGON PASTA SALAD



Tuna Tarragon Pasta Salad image

My husband and I love the unique flavor of the tuna pasta salad at our local Sweet Tomatoes restaurant. The natural sweetness from the tarragon blends beautifully with the mild tuna. I developed this recipe at home and it comes really close to real thing...maybe even surpassing it. The restaurant chain uses a mixed pasta consisting of broken spinach fettucini, broken regular fettucini and sea shells, but I don't usually keep all those pastas on-hand. I also took the liberty of adding peas (I just love peas and tuna together).

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil for a healthier option. Solid white albacore tuna is a good choice as it has a mild flavor and firm texture.
  • Use fresh herbs: Tarragon is the star of this salad, so make sure to use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can substitute dried tarragon, but use half the amount.
  • Add crunch: Celery and red onion add a nice crunch to the salad. If you don't like celery, you can substitute cucumber or carrot.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is the binder for this salad, so use a good quality mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of. You can also use Greek yogurt or sour cream for a healthier option.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately or chill: Tarragon tuna salad wraps are best served immediately, but they can also be chilled for later. If you are chilling the wraps, be sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Conclusion:

Tarragon tuna salad wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. They are perfect for a quick meal on the go or a light and refreshing meal on a hot day. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of preparation, you can have a tasty and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
