Tuna Salad

My mom used to make a large bowl of tuna salad every once in a while and we loved it.  We took her recipe and made a couple of easy changes to get a healthier alternative.  


This is also another great lunch meal you can make on Sundays and bring it to work throughout the week for lunch. 


Ingredients
1 box whole wheat pasta, cooked
4 cans tuna
2 - 4 tablespoons mayo (with olive oil)
1 green pepper, diced
1/2 red pepper, diced
1/2 cup of celery, diced
1 can black pitted olives, cut in half
salt
pepper



Directions
Drain tuna, place in large bowl.  Add in 1-2 tablespoons mayo, salt, and pepper and mix thoroughly.  Add in chopped peppers and celery.  Add 1/2 of the cooked elbow noodles and mix all ingredients together.  Add remaining elbow noodles and 1-2 tablespoons mayo, salt, and pepper and mix thoroughly.
