Best Low Fat Pasta Tuna Salad Recipes

CREAMY PASTA SALAD WITH TUNA AND VEGETABLES (LOW FAT)

Creamy Pasta Salad With Tuna and Vegetables (Low Fat) image

Prepare this salad a few hours in advance to allow the flavours to blend and mellow. You may use other fresh herbs instead of dill or just more parsley if you like. You may leave out the tuna if serving as a side dish with meat. I like the fresh flavour of this salad. It keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days.
