Garden Tuna Pasta Salad image

A delicious pasta salad that tastes great with all the veggies in it. I substitute canned shrimp in place of canned tuna if I want to change it up a bit.

Time 2h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1 (6 ounce) can water-packed tuna, drained and flaked
⅔ cup chopped yellow bell pepper
⅔ cup chopped celery
½ cup shredded carrot
¼ cup sliced radishes

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
¾ cup mayonnaise
½ cup ranch dressing

1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

  • Drain macaroni and rinse in cold water. Drain again and add to the bowl with the tuna mixture.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll try a different tuna pasta salad recipe next time.

I had some trouble finding the right kind of pasta for this salad. I ended up using rotini, which worked fine, but I think penne or farfalle would have been better.

I thought the flavors were a bit bland. Maybe I'll try adding some more herbs or spices next time.

I would give this recipe a 5 star review if it wasn't for the fact that I found the dressing to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

This salad is the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The tuna adds a savory richness, the vegetables add a refreshing crunch, and the dressing brings it all together with a tangy sweetness.

I love this dish because you can throw together whatever vegetables you have on hand and it will always turn out delicious. Plus, my kids don't mind eating healthy when I make this salad.
