Tuna Pasta Salad
I wish that I had created this recipe years ago, because it is a major life saver in the summer months when you have a hungry family bopping around. My husband just hopped off the lawn mower and this is my new favorite protein-packed snack to give him. (He even loves having it for dinner!) It also makes a great lunch to pack up for work, school, camping, road trips, etc. 😁 Be sure to browse through all of my pasta salad recipes!

Chill for 4 hours prior to serving.
