CREAMY PASTA SALAD WITH TUNA AND VEGETABLES (LOW FAT)



Creamy Pasta Salad With Tuna and Vegetables (Low Fat) image

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.

CREAMY TUNA-PASTA SALAD



Creamy Tuna-Pasta Salad image

I actually despise canned tuna. However, it is so economical that I am constantly searching for recipes that make it tolerable to me. I went back for 3 helpings of this one! It came from Betty Crocker's New Cookbook. Cook time is actually the recommended chill time. Don't forget to plan on time to cook the pasta.
