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.)

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.
