Tuna Pasta Salad

When making pasta I always cook too much and we are left with a massive bowl of pasta in the fridge.  My girls love eating the leftover pasta cold and plain but personally I prefer it with flavour 🙂 This recipe is quick and easy to prepare and perfect for lunch or a light dinner on these hot days.

• 2 cups cooked Wholemeal Pasta (leftovers from the night before is best)
• 2 tablespoons Sour Cream
• 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Sweet Paprika
• 1 teaspoon of warm water
• 100 g Tuna (if using tinned make sure it is Spring water not oil)
• 1/2 cup frozen Peas (thawed)
• 1/2 cup frozen Corn Kernels (thawed)
• 1/4 cup diced Capsicum
• 1 Spring Onion finely sliced
• Lettuce leaves to serve

In a small mixing bowl combine the sour cream, lemon juice, paprika and warm water.  Stir until well combined.  In a separate bowl combine the cold pasta, tuna,  peas, corn, capsicum and spring onion.  Pour over dressing and toss until combined.  If you have the time leave the salad in the fridge overnight as this allows the flavours of the dressing to combine with the tuna and pasta but it is also delicious if you eat it straight away.  Serve with a side salad.  Enjoy 🙂
