A flavorful Tuna Pasta Salad.
I love a good Tuna Pasta Salad especially in the summer. Many companies are making wonderful Low Carb Pasta products now, so those of us on Low Carb journeys don’t have to give up all of our favorite things.
I usually make this Salad in the morning then refrigerate it until lunch or dinner so all the flavors marry and it gets nicely chilled.
LOW CARB TUNA PASTA SALAD
Ingredients:
- 4 (5 oz.) Cans Albacore Tuna in water, drained
- 1 (8 oz.) Package Low Carb Elbow Macaroni, I use the Great Low Carb Bread Co. brand
- 3/4 Cup Celery, diced
- 3/4 Cup Green Onion, diced
- 4 Hard Boiled Eggs, peeled and diced
- 1 Cup Mayo with Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Dill Relish
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 Teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt
- Freshly Ground Pepper
Directions:
1. In a small bowl whisk together the Mayo, Dijon, Salt and Dill Relish. Give your Pepper Mill a few good turns over the Dressing and whisk again. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Elbow Macaroni according to package directions. I find it always takes a bit longer than what the package states. Just cook it until it is tender. When it is done, drain it in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer the Macaroni to a large bowl.
3. Add the Celery, Green Onion, Tuna and Eggs into the bowl with the Macaroni.
4. Add the Dressing to the Pasta and fold everything together, ensuring everything is coated with the Dressing.
5. Cover the bowl and chill the Tuna Pasta Salad for 3-4 hours to allow the flavors to marry and to chill the Tuna Pasta Salad.
6. After 3-4 hours, remove the Pasta from the refrigerator. Give your Pepper mill a few good turns over the Tuna Pasta Salad and stir everything together, prior to serving.
