Tuna Noodle Salad

7:27 PM, February 22, 2007 .. Posted in Recipes .. 1 comments .. Link

I had a request for this recipe, so here it is... quick and easy.

 

One box of ring noodles (can use small shells.  It is the small box, I think 7 oz.)

One can of peas

One can of tuna

Optional... 1/2-1 c. of chopped celery or onion for texture

Miracle Whip salad drsg, or similar

 

Cook noodles, rinse with cold water to chill the noodles.  Drain peas and tuna.  Mix all ingredients together except salad dressing.  Add salad dressing to coat.  My kids always ask, how much?  And I laugh, til it tastes right.  Too little, it is dry and bland, too much and it will be runny and too sweetish from the salad dressing.

Tips:  the ring noodles take less salad dressing.  The shells will take more s. drsg. to coat and have the same flavor.  The next day, you may need to add more Salad Dressing as it will soak into the noodles and become quite dry in texture, a dollup and a quick stir and it's back to day one texture. 

My kids prefer not to have the onions or celery in it, as they think the crunch is ~disgusting~, but I like it that way, even way back when I was a kid.  Who raised my kids anyways?  LOL  I know, I know... I did it, I catered to the whims and this is what I got.... but it is getting better...they tried Bean Burgers tonight and actually liked them... thought they were weird, but still good.  They said it would be good on our homemade tacos, then the beans wouldn't fall off, LOL. 

Warmly, ~Melissa
