The only truly tasty pasta tuna salad I have ever had! I did use tad less pasta and tad more veggies (green onions, red pepper, green peas). Tasty and crunchy! Very versatile, too. Yum!

This was very easy to throw together and we've enjoyed it with our lunches this week. I used ziti just cause thats what I had on hand and I couldn't find Lipton brand veggie soup (?) so I used the Knorr Brand instead. I did omit the olives due to personal taste. Thanks T.A. for another great recipe!

This was a very nice salad, and I used solid white albacore. I liked the fact it was easily thrown together and I added some sliced green onions to it as well. Thank you TA> :)
