SIMPLE TUNA PASTA SALAD



Simple Tuna Pasta Salad image

Some of the best recipes are the most simple. This is one of those. I prefer it just as written, but you may add any ingredients you choose such as chopped onion, scallions, chives, water chestnuts, chopped hard-boiled eggs, lemon-pepper, dill, parsley, etc. I often take this to potlucks when I need a quick and easy (and economical) dish. I've never had to take home left-overs. Tuna pasta salads can be found at many pot lucks. Albacore tuna is plentiful on the Pacific Coast, and this recipe represents the Western U.S.

Provided by PanNan

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces pasta shells or 12 ounces macaroni, cooked and drained
12 ounces canned chunk albacore tuna, drained
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup frozen green pea, thawed
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (this amount is an estimate, you'll need enough to make the salad creamy) or 1 1/2 cups Miracle Whip (this amount is an estimate, you'll need enough to make the salad creamy)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the cooked and drained pasta with the drained tuna, chopped celery, peas, and mayonnaise, using only enough mayonnaise for the salad to be creamy.
  • (If it's made ahead, you may need more because the pasta will absorb the mayo.) Chill at least 1- 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means cooking it until it is still slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and absorb too much dressing.
  • Use a good quality tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in mayonnaise or other dressings.
  • Dice the vegetables and hard-boiled eggs into small pieces. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the salad.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the other flavors in the salad.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the salad. This will give it a bright, fresh flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It is best served within a day or two of making it.

Conclusion:

Tuna pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty and satisfying salad that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give tuna pasta salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
