- Add the drained and cooked pasta, drained tuna, sweet peas, grated Cheddar cheese, and mix well.
- Stir in salad dressing to your liking of creaminess and serve.
Note 1: Add kidney beans as well, which will add some extra color and increase the fibre content.
Note 2: Use defrosted frozen peas, which are very tasty, and add some chopped celery if you have it. Make a dressing of milk, light mayo, a bit of cole slaw dressing if you like for added creaminess and sweetness, and a bit of dill relish or chopped dills with some of the juice. You can also throw in a can of potato sticks to add some crunch. This should be served chilled.
ENJOY !
