Tuna Pasta Salad Reviews

• This recipe works for a crowd. Use defrosted frozen peas (very tasty) and add some chopped celery if you have it. Make a dressing of milk, light mayo, a bit of cole slaw dressing if you like for added creaminess and sweetness, and a bit of dill relish or chopped dills with some of the juice. You can also throw in a can of potato sticks to add some crunch. This should be served chilled.

• I made this recipe for my food technology assignment at school. It tasted great and looked good too i added kidney beans as well, which added some extra colour and increased the fibre content.Thanks for the recipeSarah

• I wasnt too sure about the peas, so I used a can of corn (I love tuna and corn). I wasnt crazy about the lettuce, but I guess Im not used to having it in pasta salad. This made a nice light lunch. Thanks

• I used spinach, broccoli, onion, and mushroom with rotini pasta and italian dressing. Also my hubby likes his meat, so I used 2 cans of tuna and served cold. Yum

• This is the best tuna pasta salad Ive ever had. I made it for my family and they absolutely love it Its a perfect salad for a hot day

• This is a little twist on a recipe that I make often in the summer months. I loved it...just delicious

• I like to put it on top of more chopped lettuce, spinach salad.

• Great basic recipe my entire family enjoys. (Note: I dont add cheese and I use frozen peas instead of what recipe calls for.)

• Oh sooo easy and oh sooo delightful

• This was pretty good we just werent too crazy about the peas so next time I am going to take a chance with rinsed black beans--I know, sounds a little weird but worth a try

• This was wonderful I just added some spinach with the iceburg lettuce to make it a little more healthy. Yum

• This was really good..I added green onions,red pepper and a can of peas and carrots as I wanted to use them up.My son does not like peas,but he loved this tuna salad...Another keeper

• This recipe says its 6 servings. only if its being served as a side dish ... id say this is 3 servings, tops. the only thing i did differently was adding red onion. i used lite italian dressing.

• The whole family scarfed it down. Perfect quick dinner on t-ball nightI used greek dressing instead because thats what I had, but otherwise stuck to the recipe.

• Very filling and light. Perfect for a hot day. I omitted the dressing and didnt fully drain my tuna (in oil). Just add salt and pepper to taste.

• It is so good and I love it

• It was great, everyone liked it. Sorry no pictures, we ate it all

• I added capers to the salad for a pop of flavor. It is super easy to make and kept well in the fridge for 3 days of meals.

• Tasty and easy to make I prefer balsamic dressing, but this would be good even without any dressing at all
