Tuna Jumble

FEEDS: 3-4

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • 8 oz. white meat tuna packed in water
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 2 T. parsley, chopped
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • ½ C. mayonnaise
  • 3 T. olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 2 T. capers
  • 2 hard cooked eggs
  • 12 oz. cooked pasta

LET'S COOK

Place a pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta. Next, drain the tuna fish and then rub it between your palms, in a large bowl, to break it down evenly.

After washing your hands, add the red onion, parsley, carrot, mayonnaise, olive oil, a pinch of both salt and pepper, the lemon juice, capers and the hard cooked eggs, which you’ve chopped.

Cook, drain, cool with cold running water and then add the pasta shapes. Mix it all together well.

Serve on a based of fresh greens tossed lightly with some oil and vinegar.

MORE IDEAS:

Use pasta shapes that are new and fun. And, multi-colored pasta lends a nice touch to this dish. Also, dice a ripe tomato and toss with a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar.

After dishing up the tuna jumble, ring it with some of the tomatoes.
