Italian Tuna Pasta Salad

This Healthy Italian Tuna Pasta Salad is the perfect summer salad and is made with Zesty Italian salad dressing.

Yes I said it “Summer” and it’s official. We are finally saying goodbye to winter and hello to SUMMER 🙂

You can use just about any type of lettuce mixture for this salad, I choose a good mixture for mine as you can see and it was super delicious!

This salad can be thrown together in no time at all and is filled with 5 different types of salad mix, along with some bowtie pasta, tuna.

Then tossed in a healthy balsamic, garlic dressing that you are sure to love.

I went a little lighter on the pasta for this salad, I typically use three to four cups of pasta in my pasta salads.

However for this recipe I used two cups because I REALLY wanted to highlight this lettuce.

You can serve this for the main course or as a side dish.

Because it has two cans of tuna it can be a real filling dinner option, so do not let all the greens here fool you.

This salad can be enjoyed pretty much any time of year, but I know it will be best enjoyed on those long summer nights out on the back patio!

I can picture it now 🙂 Can’t you?

Wild Rice Tuna Casserole

This Wild Rice Tuna Casserole is something different from the average chicken and noodle casserole recipes you will find out there. This dish is very satisfying, both as a side or a main dish.

You can prepare this dish with chicken, turkey or hamburger as well or make vegetarian, all four ways are amazing.

However it’s best made with a good quality wild rice mixture.

The more natural the better since these types of rice blends contains many nutrients that other processed rice would not.

The panko crumbs and cheese topping give it that nice crunch so do not skip that combination. It makes this recipe divine!

I like to use my Dutch oven for this recipe, if you do not have a Dutch oven then feel free to use a sauteing pan and then a casserole dish once it ready to go into the oven.

Some people like to add grated cheese over top before baking, i don’t. And that is because i prefer the earthy taste of the dish, I encourage you to try it this way = delicious.

Our family’s favorite wild rice blend comes from Costco

If you end up giving this a give it a try, I would love to know how you liked it. Bon Appetit!

Note: Instead of green peppers add, celery or peas.
