Tuna and Pasta Salad with Tomato and Green Chilies and Olives

Another easy to make anytime dish good warm or cold.  Like my other recipe for tuna and pasta you can substitute chicken if you’re not a fish person.  There are no set rules, add items or delete what you don’t like, it’s a recipe not a blueprint for a rocket.  I always keep a number of these items in the larder in case I need to make a quick dish to fill in for lunch or dinner.  Any type of shaped pasta will work elbows, shells, orecchiette, small penne.  The only real musts are make sure you have a good italian dressing ( for this one I like to use Wishbone).

Ingredients for Tuna and Pasta Salad

  1. 1 -2 large cans Tuna or Chicken
  2. 1 red onion diced
  3. 1 small can green chilies diced
  4. 1 cup green olives chopped
  5. 1-2 tomatoes diced or 1 can diced tomatoes drained
  6. 1 recipe of Good Seasons Italian Dressing
  7. salt and pepper to taste
  8. Parmesan cheese to taste (optional)
  9. 1 box shaped pasta

Directions for Tuna and Pasta salad

Boil the pasta in salted water, once done, drain.

Prepare all the rest of the ingredients and putting the pasta into a large bowl to mix, add the rest of the ingredients and combine thoroughly. If making it ahead of time make sure you have extra dressing to moisten the pasta before serving.

 

Here are a few items to help make this recipe:
New Professional Commercial Grade 12 QT (Quart) Heavy-Gauge Stainless Steel Stock Pot, 3-Ply Clad Base, Induction Ready, With Lid Cover NSF Certified Item
Good Seasons Salad Dressing & Recipe Kit, Cruet with 2-Count Italian Dressing Mix (Pack of 2)
(Set of 6) Mixing Bowls Standard Weight Stainless Steel *Mirror Finish* ¾, 1½, 3, 4, 5, and 8 Qt.

Oh well another of those recipes that really aren’t pup friendly.  Too many onions and spicy stuff for me, I can’t even get a taste, but surprisingly it does smell quite good, so 3 paws, and let’s hope there is steak for dinner!
