Tuna & Pasta Salad Recipe
Here's
a great recipe that my partner claims she invented. The tuna and pasta
salad tastes great and is really good for those wanting to lose weight
and put some Omega
3 oils into their diet.
What I like about the Tuna & Pasta Salad is that you can substitute
ingredients without spoiling the overall aim of the recipe. For example
you could change the Italian salad dressing for olive oil or any other
low fat dressing of your choice. Perhaps French dressing would be nice.
Or you could substitute the corn for peas and beans.
This would also taste great with salmon instead of tuna. You would
still have the low calorie count and add those essential oils.
What ever variation you choose, the overall aim is to keep the calories
per serve low and add those omega 3 oils into your healthy eating program.
