Italian Tuna Pasta Salad

Recipe #301519 | 20 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Dooners

I used to love Tuna Helper's Pasta Salad and was so disappointed when they discontinued it. Over the years I've kicked around different ideas. This is what I think is a fairly close approximation to it.

Posted on: Apr 30, 2008

Ingredients

  • 1 (6 1/2 ounce) can tuna, drained
  • lb cooked spiral shaped pasta
  • 1/2 medium onion, minced
  • cup frozen peas, cooked

  • 1 (5/8 ounce) packet Italian salad dressing mix
  • milk
  • Directions

    1. 1
      In a large bowl combine Miracle Whip dressing and packet of Italian dressing mix. If mixture is too thick, thin with some milk until desired consistency.
    2. 2
      Add minced onion, tuna, and peas. Mix well.
    3. 3
      Add cooked pasta.
    4. 4
      Toss to coat pasta and chill in the refrigerator.
