I actually despise canned tuna. However, it is so economical that I am constantly searching for recipes that make it tolerable to me. I went back for 3 helpings of this one! It came from Betty Crocker's New Cookbook. Cook time is actually the recommended chill time. Don't forget to plan on time to cook the pasta.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/2 cup mayonnaise
7 ounces medium pasta shells
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 cup chopped green onion (3 med.)
1 medium zucchini, sliced (2 c.)
2 (6 ounce) cans chunk tuna in water, drained
1 (4 ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
Directions:
1. Beat oil, vinegar, mustard, and mayonnaise together with a wire whisk.
2. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
3. Rinse with cold water; drain.
4. Mix pasta and remaining ingredients in medium bowl.
5. Toss with dressing mixture.
6. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors.
