Tuna Cannellini Pasta Salad

Cooking time: 25 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

     Tuna Macaroni Salad was a summer staple when I was a child.  I don't know if it still is.... This is an updated version: more veg, no mayonnaise.

Tuna Cannellini Pasta Salad with Creamy Herb Dressing

Total time: 25 minutes
