I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com, but dramatically changed the ingredients to make it nearly fat free and higher in protein. My husband said it was surprisingly good. He was a little worried as he saw me making it, but told me that he'd be happy if I made it again!
Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) package barilla plus rotini 3/4 cup fat-free sour cream 2 T light mayonaisse 1/2 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked (you may sub canned chicken if you wish) | 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (optional) 1 large apple - peeled, cored and chopped 1 cup matchstick carrots 1/3 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. | Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, cook for 7 to 9 minutes, until al dente. Drain, and cool. |
2. | In a large bowl, mix the cooled pasta, sour cream, mayo, ranch dressing mix, tuna (or chicken), cheddar cheese (optional), apple, carrot, and raisins. Chill 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving. |
How did you know?! This is absolutely amazing! I was just thinking about healthy lunches and was musing about finding something with tuna that's different then regular tuna sandwich, but still cold... and wah-la! Here it is the PERFECT thing for me right now - I think it looks yummy!!!
