Country French Tuna Pasta Salad

Made a nice pasta salad today with tuna, Penne pasta and served it with cherry tomatoes on a bed of lettuce, perfect for a warm afternoon. My secret ingredient is Penzey's Country French Vinaigrette, mixed with the tuna and pasta prior to adding the mayo.


Ingredients

2 cans tuna, packed in water, drained
8 0z. Penne or pasta of your choice, cooked
1T Penzey's Spice Country French Vinaigrette
1T capers + some of the liquid
1/4 C coarse chopped celery
Lo fat mayo to coat, 1/3+ cup

Mix all of the ingredients, except mayo in a large bowl, then add the mayo to coat. Serve on a bed of lettuce, mixed greens, with cherry tomatoes on the side. I served mine also with a s;ice of warm broccoli/onion/cheese corn bread, a Trader Joe recipe.


Bon Appetit!
