  1. Great recipe! I didn't measure the red pepper and I think I may have added too much it had quite a kick to it. I also used what I had on hand. So I didn't add the yellow pepper, green onion or celery. I did use onion powder and celery seed also added cucumber as someone had posted. I will definitely make this again using all the ingredients. Still I really enjoyed this.
     
  2. This was wonderful. Loved the spicy with the tuna. I made just as stated using whole wheat pasta.
     
  3. I'm eating it right now!!! I had some "Sweet and Spicy" tuna packs to use and kicked it up a notch (quoth Emeril) with tabasco and extra red pepper. With low-cal Mayo, this is a tasty, healthy meal. Thank you!
     
  4. A different pasta salad that is quite yummy. I goofed and only had 6oz of white albacore tuna, but that wasn't a problem. I used a Garlic Salsa, and added a bit of cilantro, and it was really good. This is my new favorite for work lunches.
     
  5. This is such a welcome relief to your average fat loaded pasta and tuna dishes. Full of great flavor and crunchy veggies. I added about 3 tablespoons of chopped sweet onion as we love onion and I wanted even more veggies. I will make this many more times I'm sure. Would be great to take to a pot luck too!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a mother of three and live in central Pennsylvania. My children were very active in after school activities and found we weren't spending anytime together at meal time. In 1998, I decided to start cooking my dinners in a crockpot so that we could have a home cooked meal together once everyone came home. My children now get so excited to see what we are having to eat and love the smell when they walk in the door. My family calls me the crock pot queen. LOL I use my crock pot everyday of the year. <br> <br>My three children are now in college and before they come home they request their favorite meal. I still continue to cook in the crock pot for my husband and I. It is nice after a long day to know your meal is ready. It also helps in keeping my grocery bill down. With zaar, I can print my shopping list and that is all I purchase is the ingredients on that list. <br> <br>Now, my two daughters have been crock pot cooking while in college. They find it is easy to cook for the themselves and their friends. It is an easy way to have friends over for dinner after classes <br> <br>I still love trying new recipes and purchasing cookbooks, especially crock pot cookbooks. <br> <br>Happy Cooking!
