Pasta Salad with Tuna and Peas : Recipe

Sweet and Tangy Pasta Salad with Tuna and Peas.

Sweet and Tangy Pasta Salad with Tuna and Peas.

I don’t know where this super simple recipe originated. But it is a far cry from an old fashioned tuna casserole. We had something like it on the salad bar when I worked for Cheesecake Factory. The sweetness of the peas and dressing makes it. 

 

Someone brought this dish to an overnight birthday party for my friend she held at

at Malibu Creek Park.

What a great idea for a group get together! Everyone brought kids, tents and blow-up beds (who knew you could use a car battery as an energy source to blow one up?) and of course loads of

potluck food.
