SUMMERTIME TUNA PASTA SALAD
It's fresh, light, tasty and healthy. (Variation: If you are not a big tuna fan like me, try one 7.5 ounce can of salmon, drained and flaked.)

SUMMER PASTA SALAD WITH TUNA
This is the quintessential summer comfort food. When it was too hot to cook or eat a heavy dinner, my mother would often make this as a light summer meal. The leftovers taste great the next day! NOTE: Many of the spices can be adjusted to taste. I like to experiment with new flavors, like adding dill or curry powder. (cooking time is boiling the pasta and eggs, while prep time is chopping and mixing)

Steps:
- Boil pasta as directed until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. (I also boil the eggs at this time and rinse then in cold water when finished).
- In a large salad bowl, combine chopped eggs, diced onion, celery, mayo, lemon, spices, relish, and hot sauce.
- Drain the tuna well and flake into the bowl.
- Make sure the pasta is relatively dry (a little water clinging to them keeps the salad moist and cuts down the mayo needed).
- Thoroughly mix the salad and chill if desired.
- Serve in bowls or on a bed of lettuce.

CREAMY PASTA SALAD WITH TUNA AND VEGETABLES (LOW FAT)
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.
