Categories     Salads

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 oz linguine, uncooked
1/4 c lemon juice
1/4 c vegetable oil
1/4 c chopped green onions
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp italian seasoning
1 tsp seasoned salt
12 1/2 oz canned tuna, drained
10 oz frozen peas, thawed
2 medium tomatoes, chopped

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Linguine is a great choice for this salad because it holds the dressing well and is easy to eat. However, you can use any type of pasta that you like.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking the pasta until it is just tender but still has a slight bite to it. This will prevent the pasta from becoming mushy and overcooked.
  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: The vegetables in this salad should be fresh and in season. This will give the salad the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You don't want the salad to be too oily or greasy.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta and vegetables will start to wilt if they sit for too long.
