EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Tuna is now packaged in tightly sealed, vacuum-packed pouches. The flavored or plain tuna is ready to serve with no draining. These flat pouches store easily and can go anywhere.

Elbow macaroni, small macaroni rings or small shell pasta can be substituted for the orzo. If you can’t find the lemon pepper-flavored tuna, use regular tuna and add 1 teaspoon lemon pepper or your favorite seasoning blend.

Regular Havarti or any cheese can be used in place of the dilled Havarti cheese.

This tuna salad was great. I used wheat elbow macaroni instead of orzo. I did add more to this salad to make it zestier. I added more Lemon peper than what was suggested and I added dried dill. If I make this again I would add peas, more tuna, and let the salad sit overnight. The flavor was much better the second day. It was a good summer pasta salad and easy to make. It was a hit.
