Tuna Shell Salad
Quick Cooking

 

Do you like tuna but need a new way to serve it? Foll Pat Kordas' lead. "I created this light salad as a way to use tuna in dishes other than sandwiches," the Nutley, New Jersey cook explains. "Mustard and dill enhance the flavor."

SERVINGS: 5

METHOD:
TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Ingredients:
1 package (7 ounces) small pasta shells
1 can (6 ounces) light water-packed tuna, drained and flaked

1 large carrot, shredded
3/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Re: Tuna Shell Salad
I made this yesterday, and ate it for lunch today, and it was wonderful. I followed this exactly using Hellman's lower fat mayo and skim milk as directed, but I added one stalk of chopped celery and about 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley for color. Delicious.
