Sweet and Tangy Pasta Salad with Tuna and Peas.

I don’t know where this super simple recipe originated. But it is a far cry from an old fashioned tuna casserole. We had something like it on the salad bar when I worked for Cheesecake Factory. The sweetness of the peas and dressing makes it. 

Someone brought this dish to an overnight birthday party for my friend she held at

at Malibu Creek Park.

Malibu Creek State Park Potluck Overnight.

What a great idea for a group get together! Everyone brought kids, tents and blow-up beds (who knew you could use a car battery as an energy source to blow one up?) and of course loads of

potluck food. 

So easy. Just mix. Done.

Ingredients:

• 1 bag / lb Pasta (like large shells, or rigatoni or….) boiled per directions
• 1 drained Can of Tuna 
• 1 Cup Frozen Peas
• 1/4 Cup Sweet Pickle Relish
• 1/2 Cup Ketchup
• 1/2 Cup Mayonaisse

(Or you can just use 1 Cup of your favorite Thousand Island Dressing).

 Mix together. Done!

After dinner, enjoying the fire with our puppy, Bella.
