Summer Addiction Pasta Salad image

I make up this salad just about every weekend. Not only is it fresh-tasting and nutritious, but it gets even better with each passing day (in the fridge). I guess I could call this our 'Summer Addiction'.

Time 27m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb vary-coloured pasta shells (I get the imported Italian stuff as the colours stay brighter and prettier after cooking)
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained
2 (11 ounce) cans canned corn niblets, drained
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna packed in oil, one drained, the other not
1 red pepper, chopped into small pieces
1 green pepper, chopped into small pieces
1 yellow pepper, chopped into small pieces
1 red onion, minced
10 gherkins, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3/4 cup mayonnaise (I always use Hellman's)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta until al dente.
  • Drain and run under cold water.
  • Drain well.
  • In a large bowl, combine pasta with kidney beans, corn, tuna (including the oil in one tin), onion, peppers and gherkins.
  • Combine all dressing ingredients and pour over pasta.
  • Toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to cool and blend flavours.
  • This is great even 2-3 days after making!
