"Made this for my son using canned turkey in place of Tuna because he won't eat seafood. This includes cherry tomatoes giving a nice sweet juicy bite. A good make ahead recipe."

What a nice indulgence! I used rotisserie turkey, double the vinegar and more mayo (til it looked right, though I don't usually like tons of mayo). It was very satisfying.

Fantastic recipe! Everyone loved it. My husband said it was the kind of thing people will ask for at family get-togethers. The only thing I changed was I added a little chipotle seasoning to the mix. Without it the taste seemed just the slightest bit lacking. I will definitely be making this again!

Puuuuurrrrrfect Rita! Yummy yum yum! I hate tuna in a pasta salad and this is the bomb! One thing I did differently...I used left over roast turkey! Thank you! Jelly :)
