PASTA SALAD WITH ARTICHOKES AND TUNA (OR CHICKEN)

Pasta Salad with Artichokes and Tuna (or chicken) image

I got this recipe from a friend. Its a very easy and light main dish, great for summer evenings. I serve it with a spinach salad and bread. When I bring this dish to a church supper I always get asked for the recipe. A big thanks to Pat Duran for her terrific picture She used cooked chicken and this variation turned out great.

"I've made this salad many times for my husband and me," Nancy Adams of Las Vegas, Nevada writes of her flavorful and fetching macaroni medley. "We like it for lunch with pineapple-topped ham slices and sweet potatoes. Or you can stir in a can of tuna into the salad for a complete meal."

TUNA & ARTICHOKE PASTA SALAD

Tuna & Artichoke Pasta Salad image

I have been making this light, tangy pasta salad ever since I was at the University of Wyoming in the late 1980s. Made with pantry ingredients, it's quick and easy. A nice lunch or summertime dinner with fresh fruit or hearty bread. Sometimes I add halved cherry or grape tomatoes for a little sweetness. Leftovers are just as good! (Prep time does not include cooking time for pasta.)

TUNA ANTIPASTO SALAD BOWL

Tuna Antipasto Salad Bowl image

When the weather gets hot, we make a big salad for supper several times a week. This part antipasto, part tuna pasta salad, is my husband's favorite. With some crusty bread, it is a meal all in itself. It is easily adaptable to your family's preferences. I sometimes add other kinds of marinated vegetables and/or strips of mozzarella cheese or provolone cheese.
