Creamy Tuna Pasta Salad
Report
This Creamy Tuna Pasta Salad with Pineapple is one of my favorite lunches to make when I need to throw something together quickly from the pantry. Aldente penne noodles are tossed with flaked tuna, pineapple, crunchy celery, and creamy American cheese. Everything is then tossed in a super light mayo-based dressing that won't weigh you down.

- 1 tsp salt

- 2 celery chopped
- 1/4 cup onion red, finely chopped
- 8 oz American cheese block from butcher counter, cut into cubes
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Season with salt. It should taste as salty as the sea. Add pasta and cook until aldente.
