Best Creamy Pasta Salad With Tuna And Vegetables Low Fat Recipes
VEGETABLE & TUNA PASTA SALAD
This delicious pasta salad recipe is made with zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, arugula and chunk light tuna, which is lower in mercury than white albacore tuna. For the best flavor, combine the pasta salad with the dressing about 1 hour before serving. If you're looking for an environmentally sustainable canned tuna option, check the label--tuna that was caught by troll or pole-and-line is considered the best choice, according to Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch Program. Or look for the blue Certified Sustainable Seafood label from the Marine Stewardship Council.

CREAMY PASTA SALAD WITH TUNA AND VEGETABLES (LOW FAT)
Prepare this salad a few hours in advance to allow the flavours to blend and mellow. You may use other fresh herbs instead of dill or just more parsley if you like. You may leave out the tuna if serving as a side dish with meat. I like the fresh flavour of this salad. It keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days.
