Ingredients:
2 C cooked and chilled small shell pasta
1 1/2 C halved cherry or grape tomatoes
1/2 C thinly sliced carrots
1/2 C sliced celery
1/2 C chopped seeded and peeled cucumber
1/2 C thinly sliced radishes
1/2 C thawed frozen petti-peas
1/4 C red bell pepper
2 tbls. minced green onion, including tops
1 can Albacore or chunk light tuna
1 C salad dressing of choice
Bibb or red leaf lettuce
Fresh herbs for garnish
Directions:
In large bowl, combine all ingredients except lettuce and herbs. Chill several hours. If using oil and vinegar-style dressing, stir salad mixture occasionally to evenly marinate ingredients. Place lettuce leaves on each salad plate and spoon salad over lettuce. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. As well, I have discovered that the inclusion of red-onion rings enhances both the look and the taste of this combination salad.
This is such an attractive and colorful salad and crunchy-delicious!
