TUNA TARRAGON PASTA SALAD



Tuna Tarragon Pasta Salad image

My husband and I love the unique flavor of the tuna pasta salad at our local Sweet Tomatoes restaurant. The natural sweetness from the tarragon blends beautifully with the mild tuna. I developed this recipe at home and it comes really close to real thing...maybe even surpassing it. The restaurant chain uses a mixed pasta consisting of broken spinach fettucini, broken regular fettucini and sea shells, but I don't usually keep all those pastas on-hand. I also took the liberty of adding peas (I just love peas and tuna together).

Trio of T's Salad (Tuna, Tomato and Tarragon) image

This is a Yummy salad! Such fantastic flavors in one place! Super easy, low in fat, and eye appeal galore! I have read that by soaking the red onion in water for 20 minutes will tame it a bit, but I've never felt the need for it. Feel free to use your favorite salad spices, such as, McCormick's Salad Supreme, it's great, but not everyone would care for it.
