CREAMY TUNA PASTA SALAD



Creamy Tuna Pasta Salad image

This creamy tuna pasta salad recipe is perfect for summer gatherings, potlucks, BBQs, or picnics. It's fast and easy to make!

Provided by Natasha Bull

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2.5 cups uncooked macaroni
1 (6 ounce) can tuna (drained)
2 tablespoons red onion (chopped)
1 cup little tomatoes (halved)
2 sticks celery (chopped small)
1 mini cucumber (or 1/4 English cucumber) (chopped)
1/2 red bell pepper (chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Salt & pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried dill (or use fresh)
Salt & pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Boil a large, salted pot of water for the macaroni. Cook it al dente according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, get everything else ready. I like to make the dressing first. Combine all the dressing ingredients until smooth and set it aside. Prep the other ingredients and add them to a large bowl.
  • Once the pasta is done, rinse it under cold water and let it drain thoroughly. Toss with the dressing and other ingredients. Season with salt & pepper as needed (I found this recipe needed quite a bit of salt - it's a lot of pasta). You can serve this pasta salad right away or let it chill (covered) first for the flavors to meld more.

TUNA PASTA SALAD



tuna pasta salad image

Making this tuna pasta salad is soo easy! Seriously, even if you are not a whiz in the kitchen, you will be able to make this pasta salad and WOW anyone you are serving it to!

Provided by Lauren

Categories     Pasta     Side Dish

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound pasta of your choice
5 ounces canned tuna (drained)
15 ounces peas (canned or frozen)
1 cup mayo
salt ( to taste)
black pepper ( to taste)
1/2 tablespoon paprika

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to package. Drain the pasta in a colander, then rinse the pasta with cold water to cool it down. Set pasta aside and let it finish cooling for about 10 minutes.
  • Open your can of tuna and drain the liquid out.
  • Open your can of peas if you are using canned peas and drain the liquid out. If you are using frozen peas, cook them according to the package and then using the colander rinse them with cold water to cool them down.
  • Get a large bowl to mix everything together in. When your pasta is cooled, mix together pasta, tuna and the peas. Be sure to break up the chunks of tuna while you are mixing it so it is evenly distributed through out the pasta salad.
  • Now add the mayo until it is as moist as you like. I normally start with half a cup and work my way up to about a cup. You can add more mayo if you would like it creamier, but do so slowly by adding 1/4 cup more mayo at a time until you reach your desired creaminess.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Normally about 1/8 a teaspoon is enough of each for me. You can do a little less or a little more depending on what you prefer. Mix everything together well.
  • On top of the pasta salad sprinkle paprika, I normally just shake the bottle until it has what I think is enough, but it ends up being roughly 1/2 tablespoon that I end up using.

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 AND CRUNCHY TUNA SALAD SUPREME



Creamy and Crunchy Tuna Salad Supreme image

This tuna salad is made special with the addition of cream cheese and chopped raw carrots. Red peppers make it pretty and one or two other vegetables, fruits or nuts keep it changing and interesting. I developed this recipe after I tasted cream cheese in a salmon salad sandwich at a funeral lunch in Canada many years ago. Add baby spinach or lettuce leaves, and serve on your favorite bread or as a wrap in a tortilla.
