I love tuna and sometimes when I don’t feel like cooking I just open a can of tuna, ad some fresh squeezed lime juice and chopped tomatoes and that is my lunch. The other day, however, I got I little fancy and added more ingredients to my tuna salad 🙂
This is a simple and delicious pasta and tuna salad. You can use frozen peas and carrots if you don’t have fresh at home.
Enjoy!

I love Tuna, its healthy and great for you. I have been looking for better ways to prepare this dish for a while. These days I make sure that the Tuna that I buy is from sustainable fishing sources.
