"Pasta Salad"
Ingredients:
16- ounces elbow macaroni or shells, bowties
3- (6 ounce) cans of white tuna
4-5 hardboiled eggs, chopped
2- stalks celery, diced
1- Red onion, diced
5 tablespoons of Hellmanns/Best Foods mayonnaise (or more if you wish)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons of ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Add fresh Parsley or dehydrated flakes
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
3-4 dashes hot sauce (we like Crystal Red Hot Sauce)
Here are the Directions:
Boil pasta as directed until al dente.(10-12 minutes) Drain and rinse with cold water. (I also boil the eggs at this time and rinse them in cold water when finished).
In a large salad bowl, combine chopped eggs, diced red onion, celery,Hellmanns/Best Foods mayo, lemon, spices, relish, and hot sauce.
Drain the tuna well and add to the bowl.
Make sure the pasta is relatively dry (a little water clinging to them keeps the salad moist and cuts down the mayo needed).
Thoroughly mix the salad and chill if desired.
For a zesty kick to the salad, add a splash of organic apple cider vinegar
Serve as a delicious side dish to egg salad sandwiches or hamburgers, or over a fresh bed of lettuce..Iceberg or Romaine.
Enjoy everyone!
