Tuna Pasta Salad - Gluten and Dairy Free

Ingredients

1 packet of Barilla Penne (box I had was 340g)

1/3 cup whole egg mayonnaise (check the label for gluten and dairy - I used Praise Real Whole Egg with Olive oil)

1 Tbsp Lemon Juice (I used fresh but you can use bottles if you prefer)

125g cherry tomatoes (I used fresh but you could use sun-dried tomatoes)

1 stalk of Celery

2 spring onions

2 cans of Capriccio Tuna in oil (Can use Tuna in water if you prefer)

Method

1.Cook Pasta in Large saucepan of boiling water for following packet direction until tender (10 minutes) then drain and put in a salad bowl to cool. (If you put a drop or spray of olive oil in and mix in through, the pasta won't stick together while it's cooling.)

2. Combine Mayonnaise and lemon juice in a bowl, mix together until it's smooth.

3. Open cans of tune and drain some of the oil off. Using a fork break up the tuna. (I do it in the can over the sink, I just stir in around hard like I'm mixing cake batter by hand).

4.Chop the celery and spring onions and Cut Cherry tomatoes in half. I like to cut up the celery and spring onion really small so it mixes through nicely and you don't end up with big chunks of it when you eat it.

5.Once pasta is cool. Pour Mayonnaise mixture over the pasta and stir through, then add tuna other ingredients and stir ti combine. I put the cherry tomatoes on last over the top for decorative effect.

6.Refrigerate until you are ready to eat, then serve.

Notes.

This would be good for work lunches. You can make it and take portions with you for lunch during the week.

You can add or change the vegetables if you wanted to.

Other brands of gf pasta are often 250g boxes so you might need to adjust the ingredients, or you could make it the same and just have extra dressing.

Lots of Mayonnaise has dairy in it, whole egg mayo, should just be that egg and some oil and vinegar, without added dairy.
