Directions

Boil about 2 cups of water, and add your pasta.When it has finished cooking (usually about 8 - 10 minutes), drain and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Open your can, mix in the mayonnaise and set in a bowl! Total prep is about 15 minutes. This Pasta Salad can be eaten warm or cold.

You can also add chopped onions (chives) for a little taste of something spicy, or celery & radishes for an extra crunch!

Since it is so simple to make, my kids ask for it on a regular basis! Concerned about the mercury levels? It is recommended to eat this protein a max of 3 times per week.

(You can also use canned chicken or real chicken & Turkey to change it up).Seeing as this meal is so good, so cheap, so filling and so healthy, we tend to eat this more often then the recommendation but hey, that's us!

Bon Apetit!

Editors Review

Planning a picnic or need ideas for a potluck menu, here is an easy recipe that not only kids but everyone would love. This is the quickest and healthiest salad you can make with tuna and Mayonnaise, in few simple steps. Though this is a short and self explanatory video, but it would have been better if the chef could have explained the directions volubly.
