As the weather is still perfect on the weekends before autumn gets here, take advantage and have a braai. South Africans often don’t cater for everything and you always have your friends bring along their favourite sides. There is always somebody who makes a tasty pasta salad and if that’s you, try this zesty tuna and pasta salad. Not only does it have some healthy vegetables, but it’s got a creamy mayo sauce and it looks great on the table.
Zesty tuna and pasta salad tips
You can make your tuna salad the day before and this doesn’t just help with time management, but it helps meld the flavours together. Fusilli and other curly pasta like elbow macaroni is the best to use as they hold onto the sauce and finely chopped ingredients. The recipe has all of the tuna, peppers, pickles, cheese and seasoning you can think of but you can also add some curry powder to the dressing or add another classic ingredient, chopped boiled eggs.
