PASTA TUNA SALAD WITH SLICED GREEN OLIVES

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Rinse under cold water, drain, and place in large bowl.

• Add 1 jar of drained sliced green olives.
• Add 1 large diced tomato.
• Stir in 1 cup mayonnaise. **You may add more or less mayonnaise depending on your peronal preference.
• If the pasta salad seems too thick, add milk by the tablespoonful to thin.
• Gently stir the entire dish until everything is mixed well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour prior to serving to chill and let the flavors blend.
• Salt and Pepper to taste.
• Top each serving with a handful of crushed saltine crackers.
