This is for green olive lovers! I got this recipe from a co-worker years ago and I make it every summer. It's inexpensive, easy to throw together and makes a great summer meal.

Time 18m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (7 ounce) box ring pasta
1 (7 1/16 ounce) envelope tuna in water or 1 (7 1/16 ounce) envelope canned tuna
1 (8 ounce) jar sliced green olives, drained
1 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellman's Light)
2 tablespoons milk
1 large vine ripe tomatoes, diced
1 cup crushed saltine crackers (approximately)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Rinse under cold water, drain, and place in large bowl.
  • Add tuna, drained, to the cooked pasta. Use Albacore or Light tuna. If using canned, be sure it's packed in water - not oil.
  • Add 1 jar of drained sliced green olives.
  • Add 1 large diced tomato.
  • Stir in 1 cup mayonnaise. **You may add more or less mayonnaise depending on your peronal preference.
  • If the pasta salad seems too thick, add milk by the tablespoonful to thin.
  • Gently stir the entire dish until everything is mixed well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour prior to serving to chill and let the flavors blend.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste.
  • Top each serving with a handful of crushed saltine crackers.

This recipe is a waste of time. The pasta tuna salad was tasteless and the tuna was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pasta tuna salad turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor. I'm disappointed.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pasta tuna salad turned out great! It was a little bit too salty for my taste, but that's easily fixed by using less salt in the dressing. Other than that, I really enjoyed this dish.
