This delightful salad is a quick and easy toss of delicate sea shell pasta, chopped lettuce, sliced scallions, canned tuna, peas and Cheddar cheese. Pour in your favorite mayonnaise or creamy salad dressing to finish the dish.

Ingredients

1 cup seashell pasta
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/2 cup iceberg lettuce, rinsed and chopped
1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained
1 (15 ounce) can peas, drained
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup creamy Italian salad dressing, or more to taste

1 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in seashell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
