Darlene's Tuna Salad

Nonblogging Darlene contributes a recipe for a simple summer pasta salad. She says it vanishes quickly in her home, and I bet it’ll vanish quickly in your home, too.

• 2 boxes Barilla Pasta (Rotini, Shells, Farfalle, or Cellentani)
• 4 cans of tuna (chunk light in water)
• mayonnaise (start with large spoonful…then add what you want)
• 1 1/2 lbs. cheddar cheese cubed
• sweet pickles, cut up - as many as you like
• salt and pepper
  

Just put it all together and refrigerate for a few hours.  Darlene says that some people in her family enjoy mustard with it, but  she likes them to add that to their own bowl.

The only trick is too not cook the pasta too long. Usually a minute or two less than what it says. Be sure and rinse the pasta in cold water right away - and then put your ingredients together. Enjoy!

That this is so simple is an added bonus, don’t you think?

If you are a nonblogger and you have a good summer salad recipe, you can email it to me like Darlene did, and I’ll post it and link it in tomorrow’s Recipe Round Up, too.
