This is my go to for a hearty pasta salad when I'm craving one that's not made with a creamy base. The tuna packs it with protein and I use whole grain pasta to up the nutrition and to make it a bit more filling. A serving of this with some fresh fruit will keep you full until dinnertime.

Ingredients

3 servings

1 cupwhole wheat pasta (shape of choice)
1 cupfrozen peas
1large carrot, peeled and shredded
1 can (5 oz.)tuna, drained and flaked
2 tbsp.finely diced red onion
2 tbsp.extra virgin olive oil
Juice from 1 small lemon
1/4 tsp.each salt, pepper, salt free all purpose seasoning

Cooking Instructions

1

Cook the pasta according to package directions. In the last two minutes of its cook time, stir in the peas. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water.
2

In a large bowl, combine the pasta, peas, carrots and onion. Drizzle in the oil and lemon juice, then add the seasonings. Toss it all together, then stir in the tuna, so it stays in larger chunks.
3

That's it! Let it chill in a covered container in the fridge until you're ready to eat. This will keep in the fridge for 4-5 days.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.

My mom made this all the time when I was growing up. Every outdoor get together would have a big bowl sitting right next to the deviled eggs.
