Garden Tuna Pasta Salad image

A delicious pasta salad that tastes great with all the veggies in it. I substitute canned shrimp in place of canned tuna if I want to change it up a bit.

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1 (6 ounce) can water-packed tuna, drained and flaked

This salad is a great way to use up leftover tuna. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time for a party or potluck.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much dressing.

This salad was a lot of work to make, and I wasn't impressed with the results. The dressing was too heavy and the vegetables were overcooked.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning or maybe some fresh herbs. The dressing was also a bit too oily for my liking.
