Pasta Salad Everyone will LOVE!
I love to experiment making different pasta salads. I make Italian, chicken, tuna, typical macaroni and so much more! It is always fun trying different flavors and combinations of flavors! My latest creation includes Starkist’s Tuna Creations Sweet & Spicy packets. Take a look and try it for lunch or a side dish at a barbecue! I think you will enjoy this pasta salad creation! ENJOY!
ingredients
- 1 16 oz. box of rigatoni pasta, cooked according to the package and drained
- Olive Oil Based Mayonnaise 3 cups (this is based on how moist you want your salad, I do not like a dry pasta salad. You can use less, if you like.)
- 3 packets of Starkist Creations Sweet & Spicy (individual packets, 90 calories each)
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 2-3 stalks of celery, diced
- 1 cup purple onion, diced
- 15-20 cherry tomatoes cut in half
- Fresh Ground Black Pepper or Pepper medley to taste
Directions
Cook the rigatoni according to the package and drain. Rinse under cool water and place in a large bowl. Mix in the mayonnaise until pasta is thoroughly coated. Then add remaining ingredients and mix well. Be sure to refrigerate and Enjoy!
