Summer Pasta Salad With Tuna Recipes

SUMMERY HERBED TUNA PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
• Cook the green beans in the boiling water until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the beans to a colander with a slotted spoon and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Add them to the bowl with the dressing.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool; add to the bowl.
• Add the tuna, basil, carrots, celery, chives and tomatoes to the bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. The pasta salad is best if served right away.

SUMMER PASTA SALAD WITH TUNA

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.
