Taste of Tuesday: Tuna Pasta Salad!

*Before we get started, I just wanted to mention that we are taking next week off from Taste of Tuesday in honor of the July 4th holiday.  Enjoy spending time with your loved ones!

OK, if you know me - you know that I cannot stand don't like tuna. Tyler, however, LOVES tuna.. he could literally have tuna, in some form or fashion, every.single.day. We came up with our own concoction to spice-up the normally boring tuna salad. It's healthy, easy to make and budget friendly! You can make this recipe with items that are probably already in your fridge or pantry. Here's the scoop!

Ingredients:

- 4 regular sized cans of Tuna (or chicken)

- 4-6 eggs (optional)

- 1 box of pasta (we used whole grain Rotini pasta)

- 1/3 cup of Mayonnaise (add more if wanted/needed)

- 4-7 Baby Dill Pickles - chopped

- 1/4 cup of Chopped Onion (optional)

- 2-3 Jalapenos - chopped (if you like to spice it up) 

- Preferred Spices (we used: salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika and garlic salt)

Directions:
1. Boil eggs for 15 minutes on high / Boil water for pasta per package instructions.
2. Combine Tuna, mayo, pickles, onion, jalapenos and spices.
3. Drain Pasta and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process; set aside. Remove eggs from heat, let cool, then peel and chop.
4. Add eggs and pasta to the mixture and stir well (add a little at a time until you get the portions you want).
5. Refrigerate. Enjoy by itself or in a wrap!
