Pasta Salad.
1 lb pasta - shape of your choice
1 or 2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 small cucumber, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 red pepper, cut into dice
1 - 2 cups cut up meat, poultry, or fish (salmon has body and works well)
1 large tomato, cut up OR a cup of split cherry tomatoes
Any additional vegetables you like
1 cup frozen peas
1 envelope Good Seasons Italian dressing, mixed with vinegar and good olive oil
Grated parmesan cheese to add on top.
Bring water to a boil and toss in the pasta to cook for the directed time. While you're boiling the water and the pasta cut up all of your vegetables and the protein and mix the dressing.
When the pasta is done cooking pour the frozen peas into your colander and then pour the pasta and it's water over the peas. The boiling water will defrost them but leave the peas with body.
Mix this in with the other vegetables and cut up protein.
Pour the prepared dressing over this to taste, some like it wetter than others. Add the parmesan to top.

Tuna Pasta Salad Recipe?

We Answered:

the way i do it is boil the noodles (3/4 of a box), put mayo in the tuna (i would use both cans of tuna and as much mayo as necessary to coat the tuna and noodles) and combine all ingredients! i actually throw some peas into mine as well. i find just a bit of salt and pepper and that's all the flavor i need! plus making that quantity, will leave you with leftovers for tomorrow! it tastes even better once it's sat and mixed a bit.

Tuna Pasta Salad (Served Cold) Recipe?

We Answered:

Ingredients
Cooked pasta
1 or 2 small tins of tuna.
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil, 2 or 3 tablespoons
Garlic, 1 clove
1 or 2 plain unsweetened yoghurts
Sweet corn, cut off the cob or tinned or steamed from frozen. 1 or 2 cobs, 1 small tin.
Peas, a good handful of fresh or frozen, steamed.
Salt and pepper
Pinch of dill
Handy Hint
Method
Cook the same amount of pasta as you would usually make for the number of people you want to feed.

The best shapes to use are ones which allow the sauce to get stuck inside. Allow to cool.

In a big bowl combine all the other ingredients. Mash the tuna. Mix well. Add the cooled, cooked pasta and mix thoroughly.

Chill and serve.

whats a good pasta salad recipe without tuna?

We Answered:

This is an easy but flavorful pasta salad that I'm always asked to bring to potlucks. With chunks of onion, tomato, and bacon, smothered in Ranch dressing, it is full of flavor! This salad tastes best if made several hours ahead of time.
BLT Pasta Salad
* 1 (16 ounce) package medium seashell pasta
* 1 pound sliced bacon
* 1 1/2 cups light Ranch-style salad dressing
* 1 small onion, chopped
* 2 tomatoes, chopped
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool.
2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
3. In a large bowl, stir together the Ranch dressing, onion, and tomatoes. Mix in the cooled pasta. The pasta will absorb some of the dressing, so don't worry if it seems like too much. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Crumble bacon over the top just before serving.

This is a super easy but wonderfully tasty salad recipe I picked up years ago which has become a summer tradition with my family! The ingredients and proportions are adjustable to personal preference. For added flavor, you can boil the pasta in a mixture of 1 part water and 1 part chicken broth.
