During the week if we don’t have any leftovers from the meal the night before I enjoy making myself a salad. I enjoy a wide variety of salads but pasta is my favourite. Also I love to add a lot of different ingredients to my salads. Tuna is just one of the ingredients I really like to add. In recent months I tried a spicy tuna pasta dinner. It was delicious so I decided to try spices in the pasta dish I make. I’m so pleased I did. The meal was so tasty and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Spicy Tuna Pasta Salad was delicious. I made this for a lunch the other day and it was scrummy. It made my taste buds tingle and I have to admit if I made two bowls I probably would have eaten them both. The dish would make a yummy dinner but it does also make a great lunch too. The salad dressing could be made in advance of the meal and stored in the cupboard. Therefore if you enjoyed the salad dressing you could make lots more of it. It will keep for a good six months. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
