We buy Ocean’s Albacore Solid White Tuna. It’s circle hook caught, meaning the amount of marine life mistakenly caught is reduced and its subtle flavour is perfect if you aren’t using fresh tuna.
Tuna and Pasta Salad
The whole concept of meat or fish mixed with mayonnaise probably came from using up leftovers for lunch the next day; and making them go further in the sandwich.

Instructions
- Cook pasta until tender but not falling apart. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool. (Gluten Free pasta has more Carbs than regular pasta. CHO will depend on the product you use.)
- Add remaining ingredients to the pasta and toss with the mayonnaise. Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Pasta salad is best eaten soon after making it. If serving later, you may need to add more mayonnaise.
