Mmm... this is a very tasty salad. I used green chiles instead of jalapenos to adjust down the heat. I'll bet pickled pepperoncinis would also be great in this dish. I might cut back on the noodles a bit next time, to make it creamier. But overall this made a great picnic lunch. Thanks, SweetySJD [Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup]

Except for the fact that I substituted green chilies for the jalapenos, I followed your recipe right on down, & we had a great tasting tuna salad! Definitely nice enough to make again especially during the hot summer months here in the high dessert! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars Tag]

Good salad; however I made some changes to suit my tastes. I used rainbow rotelle that added some nice color to the salad. I doubled the amount of mayonnaise because I like a more creamy salad. I only added half the amount of jalapenos, deciding I would taste it first and then add the rest if I needed to. I'm so glad I held back because this salad was FIERY HOT to my tastebuds with only half the amount of jalapenos.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My name is Sara. I live in Portland, OR and I work at a retirement community in the Wellness department. I love to cook! I occasionally do cooking demonstrations at work and typically have over 40 people! This is a lot considering I have no professional training, and I never really cooked at all until a few years after high school. I try to focus on cooking healthy foods, though I believe if you're going to indulge you might as well go all the way (case in point: Black Forest Cake)! I'm always looking for new and unusual recipes and my main source is the net, currently 'zaar. I've been more successful here than anywhere else! I also subscribe to Light & Tasty (part of Taste of Home) and I highly recommend that magazine, it really proves that you can eat healthy and enjoy it.
