- 1 lb box Rotini or Penne pasta
- 12 oz tuna, 3 cans of 4 oz
- 5 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 3/4 cup corn
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vinegar
- 1 tablespoon green onion, thinly chopped, for garnish
Cook pasta according to box instructions. Drain and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, mix the pasta with the rest of the ingredients and combine well.
Top with green onion to garnish and serve.
- Take care not to overcook or undercook the pasta. Ideally it should be al dente when you drain it.
- Let the pasta cool before mixing it with the mayonnaise. If you add the mayo when the pasta is hot, it can separate and become oily.
- I prefer the flavor of full fat mayo, but you can use reduced fat to cut down on calories.
