SPICY TUNA MANGO PASTA SALAD



SPICY TUNA MANGO PASTA SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Pasta     Side     Boil

Yield 30 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Mangos (2 large), ripe but still firm
Tuna packed in water (1 large can) or about 1 pound fresh cooked, chilled, and shredded
Small shell pasta (1 pound box)
Low Fat Mayonaise (1 quart)
Green Curry Paste (2 to 4 tablespoons)
Fresh ground black pepper (dash) for color
Grated Parmesan cheese (1 pound) OPTIONAL
Plain Breadcrumbs (4 cups) OPTIONAL

Steps:

  • - Prepare the pasta according to normal directions, drain, cool, and pour into a large mixing bowl. Set aside. - In a smaller mixing bowl, add the Green Curry Paste and pepper to the mayonaise and mix until thoroughly blended. Start with 2 tablespoons and add to your taste. Remember that the tuna, pasta, and mango will offset the bite, so you want it a little spicier than you think it should be. - Add the mayonnaise to the pasta and mix thoroughly. Use a rubber spatula to clean the bowl well. - Cook, cool, and shred the tuna (if preparing fresh) or drain the canned tuna well and shred with a fork. Put the shredded tuna into the small mixing bowl. - Peel and chop the mango into quarter inch dice. You want the mango pieces to be about the same size as the cooked pasta shells. Add the mango to the tuna and mix well. - Add the tuna mango mixture to the pasta, using a wooden spoon or your hands to blend well. - Plate the prepared salad and chill for serving. Add thin slices of mango to the top for garnish if desired. - OPTION Split the salad into casserole dishes lined with breadcrumbs or crumbled saltines, and heat it in a 300F oven topped with shredded parmesan cheese until melted. Do not overheat as the sauce is mayonnaise based and may get oily but the breadcrumbs can only absorb so much liquid.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe mangoes: For the best flavor and texture, select mangoes that are ripe but still firm. Avoid mangoes that are too soft or have blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife: When cutting the mangoes, use a sharp knife to avoid bruising the fruit.
  • Be careful when handling chili peppers: Chili peppers can be very spicy, so wear gloves when handling them. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling chili peppers, as the oils can cause irritation.
  • Adjust the spiciness to your liking: The amount of chili peppers you add to the salad will determine how spicy it is. If you prefer a milder salad, use fewer chili peppers. If you like it spicy, add more chili peppers.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will meld together and the salad will become less crisp.

Conclusion:

This spicy mango salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet mangoes, spicy chili peppers, and tangy lime juice is sure to please everyone at your table.
