This is a healthy twist on a family classic. A perfect addition to any cookout or get-together! I use celery seeds because I like the faint flavor but generally despise celery (weird, I know!) Ingredients:
8 ounces whole wheat pasta (i like fusilli or rotini) |
1/2 cup frozen edamame, shelled (soybeans) |
1/2 cup frozen peas |
12 ounces light chunk tuna in water, drained |
1 1/4 cups light mayonnaise |
1/2 cup vidalia onion, finely chopped |
3 tablespoons green onions, snipped |
1/4 cup parsley, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon celery seed |
1 tablespoon dried dill |
3 teaspoons kosher salt |
1 dash pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta until al dente, adding edamame and peas during last minute of cooking.
2. Drain and cool pasta, edamame, and peas.
3. Mix remaining ingredients in large bowl.
4. Add cooled pasta and peas and mix well.
5. Cover and refrigerate for flavors to blend.
6. To serve, line gently sloped bowl with lettuce leaves, pile on salad, and garnish with chopped parsley and whole parsley sprigs.
