Categories     Tuna Salads

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 oz whole grain pasta shells
2 can(s) tuna, packed in water, drained
1 Tbsp onion flakes, dehydrated
1 1/3 c peas, frozen
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 c light mayonnaise
1/2 c cheese, shredded, fat free

Steps:

  • 1. Boil pasta and rinse in cold water.
  • 2. Drain cans of tuna and place in bowl with lid.
  • 3. Combine the two: pasta and tuna.
  • 4. Re-hydrate minced onion flakes with 2 T. warm water.
  • 5. While onion is re-hydrating, place frozen peas in a microwave safe bowl with 1/3 c. water. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes. Rinse peas in cold water and add to pasta and tuna mixture.
  • 6. Add the shredded cheese.
  • 7. Strain any excess liquid off the onion and add along with the black pepper to mixture.
  • 8. Add mayonnaise last and stir thoroughly. Cover and let chill in refrigerator. Makes 5 generous 1/2 cup servings.
  • 9. I will usually scoop a 1/2 cup onto a large lettuce leaf, but it is also good served with crackers.

I've made this salad a few times now and it's always a hit. The tuna is perfectly flaky and the dressing is just the right amount of tangy and creamy.
