Patriotic Star

 

This summer has already been the hottest I can remember. We’re in no mood to use the oven, and even the idea of a hot meal has lost all its appeal. Instead, we’re enjoying smoothies, fresh fruit, and salads. Lots and lots of salads.

 

Tuna Pasta Salad

 

8 ounces penne

7 ounces solid white tuna in water

One small onion, diced

1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced

1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved

12 ounces frozen peas

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

3/4 cup thick cut shredded cheddar

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Prepare pasta as package directs – to al dente. Rinse and drain. Add pasta, onion, cucumber, tomatoes and peas to a large bowl and gently toss. In a smaller bowl, combine mayonnaise and lemon juice. Add to large bowl with cheese, salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour before serving.
