    I think I could eat my weight in this pasta salad.

    We make it by the giant bowlful every summer and enjoy it for brunch, lunch, snack and dinner.

    It’s delicious, filling, and stretches a long way!

    TIP: It takes much better the day after you make it! 🙂

    Here’s what you need to make it…

    1 pound cooked pasta.

    Halved cherry or grape tomatoes.

    2 cans of tuna.

    1 bag (or can) or peas, warmed up.

    Toss well, and then…

    Add this magical stuff…

    As much as you like, to make it as salad-y as you like!

    I usually add about 1/2 to 2/3 cup to a big bowl like this one.

    Combine well!

    Chill at least 2 hours, before serving.

    Don’t skip this.

    Trust me.

    Enjoy this magical summer tuna pasta salad – just like my Grammy made it!

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
