Living on the coast we are sometimes forced to evacuate during hurricane season. Put this salad in a covered bowl and throw it in the cooler. It's an entire meal in one bowl and it's easy to serve. Dish it up into a cup and you can eat it in the car, camper or motel room in our case! That's why we call it Evacuation Tuna & Pasta Salad ! Ingredients:
3 cups rotelle pasta, cooked rinsed & drained (pasta shells or elbow macaroni works well too!) |
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped |
1 (12 ounce) can solid white tuna, drained & flaked |
3/4 cup of shredded 4 blend mexican blend cheese or 3/4 cup cheddar cheese |
3/4 cup chopped celery |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
1/2 cup roasted red pepper, sold in a jar or you can roast your own |
1 (8 ounce) can lima beans, drained |
3/4-1 cup mayonnaise |
1/2 lemon, juice of |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
salt (we feel salt isn't needed) |
Directions:
1. Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl. 2. In a seperate bowl combine dressing ingredients and mix well. 3. Pour dressing over salad ingredients and mix together. |
