I made this the other day. Quite simple and well hubby liked it so I put it on here simply so he has reference to another recipe to choose for dinner and I remember everything that I put into it. Although it is pretty basic and not varied too much when I make it. Some measurements depends on your preference. Usually; I go more vegetables and less mayo, to keep it as fresh tasting as possible. You could if you wanted to, add 3 chilled hard boiled eggs diced to salad as well. This kind of meal is usually whatever you want it to be.
Ingredients:
8 oz of shell or rigatoni pasta
2 6 0z cans tuna
1 1/2-2 cups frozen or fresh peas
1 1/2-2 cups shredded carrots
1 6 oz can whole olives
1/2-1 cup mayo
Directions:
Cook pasta according to directions on package. Strain water from pasta in strainer. Once water is fully strained of hot water place strainer with pasta in it, into large bowl and add ice cold water to cool noodles down. If using frozen peas, add to noodles to thaw. Let sit for approx. 10 minutes. Dump remaining ingredients into a mixing bowl (or dish you wish to serve in, I'm all for using less dishes). When peas are thawed and pasta is cool lift strainer from water. Dump pasta and peas into mixing bowl and stir ingredients together. Serve immediately or place into fridge for later. Great for a nice warm day. Enjoy!
