Pasta Salad Everyone will Love!

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!

Here is another great recipe to try!
