Rotini and Potato Salad

How about a delicious pasta salad? Let’s try Rotini and Potato Salad. This is a mix of cooked rotini pasta, boiled potato, tuna and hard-boiled eggs, and my go-to vinaigrette.

I love this salad as it is very filling. You can serve it for lunch, and it gives you a break from that lettuce salad you often grab for lunch. It also makes a great dinner, a change from the regular pasta and tomato sauce we like so much!

Total Cooking Time: 25 min
Serving: 2

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rotini pasta
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 2 medium eggs
• 1 can tuna, drained
• 1 medium size potato
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 medium tomato, cleaned
• ¼ cup My Go-To vinaigrette or your favorite salad dressing.
•  Fresh cilantro leaves to garnish (optional)

Steps:

1. In a large pot of boiling water, add rotini pasta, eggs and a teaspoon of salt; cook until tender, about 15min.
2. While pasta is cooking, peel the potato, and cut it into big chunks.
3. Rinse potato chunks and put them in a large pot.
4. Cover with water and add a teaspoon of salt.
5. Cook potato over medium heat until just tender, about 15 min. Do not overcook the potato.
6. When done, drain pasta and put eggs in a cold water to cool.
7. Rinse pasta under running water, and pour it in a salad bowl.
8. Peel egg, cut them into small chunks, and add it to the salad.
9. Cut tomato, remove the seeds, and slice into chunks or thin slices.
10. Add tuna and vinaigrette; gently mix the salad to incorporate the sauce.
11. Top with chopped cilantro.

Serve it immediately or cover with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for later.
