TUNA PASTA SALAD



Tuna Pasta Salad image

Make sure to add enough salt/seasoning for maximum flavor. For this much pasta, you must add enough salt to bring out the tasty flavors. Best part about this salad is that you can totally customize it the way you want. Add more of less of any ingredient to make it perfect to your personal taste! For the tuna, we found a big flavor and texture difference by using the solid white chunk albacore tuna vs the chunk light style tunas. Feel free to use more or less tuna depending on your personal taste preference.

Categories     Salad     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

12-16 ounces dried pasta (, cooked to package instructions)

  • PASTA: Prepare the macaroni according to package directions. (Don't cook all the pasta; only use 1 and 3/4 cups.) Make sure to generously salt the water (I add 1 teaspoon to every 4 cups of water.), or the whole salad will taste under-seasoned. Add frozen peas in with the pasta for the last minute of boiling. Drain pasta and peas, rinse under cold water, let cool, and allow to dry.
  • DRESSING: Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients: the Caesar salad dressing, mayo, sour cream, salt and pepper to taste, (I add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper.) and garlic powder.
  • VEGGIE PREP: prepare veggies (measure all AFTER dicing): dice the bread and butter pickles, bell pepper, celery, carrots (or use matchstick carrots), dice the onion.
  • ASSEMBLY: Add pasta and peas to a large bowl. Top with all the salad veggie toppings and the thoroughly drained tuna. Add dressing and gently mix everything to combine. Stir until ingredients are well coated in the dressing and then taste and season again. I usually add another 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt here, but depends on how salty the Cesar salad dressing is.
