Provided by Marzia

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

10-12 ounces pasta
3 (5-ounce) cans tuna, drained
½ cup red onions, chopped
½ cup sliced pepperoncini
10-12 sweet peppers, diced (or 1 red bell pepper)
½ cup chopped parsley
5-6 cups arugula
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons EACH: lemon juice AND olive oil
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix (powder)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1-2 teaspoons sugar
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • PASTA: prepare the pasta according to package directions. Drain and allow the pasta to cool.
  • DRESSING: Add all the ingredients for the dressing in a mason jar, screw on the cap and shake until the ingredients are well combined. Start with 1 teaspoon of sugar, taste and adjust as desired with additional sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • SALAD: Add all the ingredients for the salad in a large bowl if you plan on serving all of it right away. If not, I suggest combining everything but the arugula and tossing with the salad dressing. Add the arugula right before serving.

SUMMER PASTA SALAD WITH TUNA



Summer Pasta Salad With Tuna image

This is the quintessential summer comfort food. When it was too hot to cook or eat a heavy dinner, my mother would often make this as a light summer meal. The leftovers taste great the next day! NOTE: Many of the spices can be adjusted to taste. I like to experiment with new flavors, like adding dill or curry powder. (cooking time is boiling the pasta and eggs, while prep time is chopping and mixing)

Provided by kolleen1021

Categories     Tuna

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 ounces elbow macaroni (or other small pasta, shells, radiatore, bowties)
3 (6 ounce) cans tuna
4 hardboiled egg, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced small
1 small onion, diced small
4 -5 tablespoons mayonnaise (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
3 -4 dashes hot sauce (we like Frank's Red Hot)

Steps:

  • Boil pasta as directed until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. (I also boil the eggs at this time and rinse then in cold water when finished).
  • In a large salad bowl, combine chopped eggs, diced onion, celery, mayo, lemon, spices, relish, and hot sauce.
  • Drain the tuna well and flake into the bowl.
  • Make sure the pasta is relatively dry (a little water clinging to them keeps the salad moist and cuts down the mayo needed).
  • Thoroughly mix the salad and chill if desired.
  • Serve in bowls or on a bed of lettuce.
