We are excited about summer! The kids are already planning for activities that they’ll do. And as for me, I started listing our backyard BBQ menu. It’s a family tradition to welcome summer with a simple family get-together. Sharing foods, catching up, drinking beer while the kids are running around. Everyone brings something. This year, I plan to share my Tuna Pasta Salad. It’s perfect for the crowd, it’s delicious, easy, quick, and simple. I can easily throw this together without any fuss with ingredients that I already have. The kids are obsessed with the simplicity of this salad. Believe me, I have the pickiest eaters!
This salad is a classic. With tuna, it’s no doubt filling and healthy. It’s not only great for potlucks, picnics, but it’s also perfect for dinner, lunch, or a side dish. Excellent to serve with burgers, chicken, hot dogs, or as a meal by itself.
