Tuna Pasta Salad
- 1/2 box of 16 oz macaroni (or 8 oz of some kind of pasta)
- 1 can of tuna, drain it and flake it
1 large carrot, peel and grate it
1/4 cup of chopped onion
3/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup milk- 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of your favorite seasoning, we used "No Salt" but lemon pepper would also be a great option too
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Cook the pasta and drain. In a large bowl combine pasta, tuna, carrot, and onion. Then combine the mayo, milk, lemon juice or vinegar, seasoning, salt and pepper in a seperate container. Whisk together until smooth. Pour over the pasta mixture and mix everything together. Cover it and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Then, enjoy
This is one of those go t0 recipes that make the best of items you have in the pantry. We adjusted a recipe located in an old "Taste of Home" magazine picked up from the free table at our local Library.
Feel free to substitute or add in your favorite veggies. I would have loved some roasted red pepper and green onions but I only had regular yellow onion on hand that day and my daughter is adverse to bell peppers. This is very cost effective, especially if you are someone who uses coupons. We hardly ever pay for pasta with all the coupons available for super double day or triple coupon day at our local Harris Teeter. I always stock up on tuna when it is on sale because we are big fans and it is a quick item to create subs and salads.
We pack this salad for lunch alot during warmer weather. Please adapt for your taste and family. Enjoy!
