This one was a rough suggestion by the beefy one for my first week at work. It's uber easy!
Simple Pasta Salad
approx. 3 cups of wholewheat pasta
2 tbsp Miracle Whip - the fat free kind (lowest in calories!)
sundried tomato dressing (I used the one by Kraft with extra virgin olive oil)
1 cup peas
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup cherry tomatoes cut into quarters
1 can of chickpeas, drained
4 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup chopped red onion
a couple of handfuls of spinach
1 can of tuna
Preparation time (20 min)
1. Boil pasta to desired tenderness (13 minutes-ish).
2. Drain pasta in large colander and rinse and mix with cold water to cool.
3. Mix in vegetables and drained chick peas.
4. Mix in Miracle whip.
5. Pour in generous squirts of sundried tomato dressing. Mix!
6. Before eating, mix in tuna. If saving for later, keep tuna separate or else you will end up with a soggy mess!
Results: Tasty with lots of texture!
