I love taking this tuna seashell pasta salad to potluck dinners and other gatherings. Everyone loves it. This is an amazing pasta salad that you can enjoy as a side dish to a big meal or as an entree. Also, if you aren’t keen on tuna you can replace it with canned chicken.
Mark my words, there has never been a backyard BBQ without this salad on the table. One of the best things about this pasta salad, other than it’s amazing flavor, is how easy it is to make.
