CREAMY TUNA-PASTA SALAD



Creamy Tuna-Pasta Salad image

I actually despise canned tuna. However, it is so economical that I am constantly searching for recipes that make it tolerable to me. I went back for 3 helpings of this one! It came from Betty Crocker's New Cookbook. Cook time is actually the recommended chill time. Don't forget to plan on time to cook the pasta.

CREAMY PASTA SALAD WITH TUNA AND VEGETABLES (LOW FAT)



Creamy Pasta Salad With Tuna and Vegetables (Low Fat) image

Prepare this salad a few hours in advance to allow the flavours to blend and mellow. You may use other fresh herbs instead of dill or just more parsley if you like. You may leave out the tuna if serving as a side dish with meat. I like the fresh flavour of this salad. It keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days.

TUNA SPAGHETTI SALAD



Tuna Spaghetti Salad image

This is an excellent change from the traditional creamy tuna pasta salad. Makes a great main course for a light dinner or lunch, and is also great on a bbq buffet or to take to a potluck. Note that you can prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking, making this quick too. While it keeps well for a day or two, you can also cut it in half to feed two.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 lb spaghetti

2 tablespoons chopped black olives
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 green onions, finely sliced

  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together oil, garlic, hot pepper flakes and salt and pepper until well combined.
  • Stir in tomatoes, roasted peppers (you can substitute raw red bell peppers if you wish, but the taste will be a little different; still good, just different), tuna and olives (I use greek kalamata olives).
  • Next, stir in parsley and basil (do not substitute dried) and green onions.
  • Add the well-drained spaghetti to bowl and thoroughly combine with sauce.
  • Taste; add more salt and pepper if you wish.
  • This is best served either warm or at room temperature; if you wish to make it ahead of time, cover well and refrigerate, but bring it back to room temp before you serve it.

TUNA PASTA SALAD



Tuna Pasta Salad image

My own recipe for a delicious, cold salad made with multicolored rotini, canned tuna, onions, celery and carrots. It's wonderful in the summer as a light dinner served with blueberry or pineapple muffins. The secret is to used canned tuna in vegetable oil rather than water--it makes a more moist, delicate salad overall.
