TMc’s Tuna Pasta Salad<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
This one is at its best if allowed at least 6 hours to meld the flavors and textures – up to 12 is optimal.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

Ingredients<\/h3>
  • 8<\/span> oz<\/span> Small shell pasta – the very little ones<\/span> (usually half a standard bag or box)<\/span><\/li>
  • 6<\/span> oz<\/span> Tuna fish in water<\/span> (drained – if you prefer your tuna in oil, dial back on the mayo a little to avoid over-wetness)<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> Large stalk celery<\/span> (minced)<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> Medium cucumber<\/span> (peeled, seeded and minced)<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> TBSP<\/span> minced red onion OR 2 TBSP finely sliced green onion<\/span> (If using scallions, part bulbs and part tops)<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> C<\/span> Full-fat mayonnaise<\/span> (I use Duke\u2019s)<\/span><\/li>
  • 1\/2<\/span> C<\/span> Full-fat sour cream<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> tsp<\/span> Black pepper<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> tsp<\/span> Kosher salt<\/span><\/li>
  • 1-1\/2<\/span> tsp<\/span> Dried tarragon leaves<\/span><\/li>
  • 1-1\/2<\/span> tsp<\/span> Dried parsley leaves<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> TBSP<\/span> Dried dill weed<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

    Instructions<\/h3>
    • Boil the pasta to al dente per the package instructions<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • While the pasta is cooking, mix together all the other ingredients in a 2+ quart bowl<\/div><\/li>
    • Drain the pasta (do NOT rinse!), mix into the bowl<\/div><\/li>
    • Refrigerate at least 6 hours, and stir well before serving<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n

      Notes<\/h3>
        \n
      • If you’re feeling extra jazzy, toss in a couple tablespoons of the relish of your choice – I prefer a sweet & spicy flavor blend if doing so.<\/li>\n
      • This recipe makes a very nice tuna salad in general if you leave out the pasta and sour cream and dial the mayo back to \u201cjust wet enough for a sammich.\u201d<\/li>\n
      • Pro-tip: if you have some fresh lemon zest available, just a bit takes all tuna salad variations to the next level. Trust me.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
