Steps:

  • Put all prepared ingredients into a very large bowl and mix well. Then pour dressing over salad and mix to coat the ingredients well. Refrigerate overnight before serving. Serve cold.
  • Note: For a different flavor change, try: about 1 cup Italian dressing, or 1 cup of Ranch dressing.

2/3 cup green bell pepper, chopped
2/3 cup yellow bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped red onions or 1/2 cup vidalia onion
3/4-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 -5 hard-cooked eggs, coarsly chopped
3/4-1 cup frozen baby peas, slightly thawed
1/2 cup water chestnut, chopped (optional)
8 slices bacon, fried crisp and crumbled (optional)
12 ounces light chunk tuna in water, well drained and flaked into bite sized pieces (can use cooked chicken or ham also)
8 ounces tri-color spiral pasta, cooked 10 to 12 minutes, drain off and rinse in cold water, drain off again & add to bowl
3/4 cup salad dressing (not mayonnaise)
1/2 cup caesar salad dressing, and dip (comes in a jar, and is quite thick)
3 -4 tablespoons milk (Try 3 Tbsp. first, if still too thick, add one additional Tbsp.)

SUMMER PASTA SALAD WITH TUNA

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)

Summer Pasta Salad With Tuna image

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.

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.
