Commercial mayonnaise usually contains high amount of fat (about 75% fat). Consider using ‘low fat’ mayonnaise, which is made from starches and cellulose gel mostly, if you want to cut down the fat and cholesterol intake.

If you want to add some extra flavor, you could try adding anchovy paste. Also, try adding an extra table spoon of lemon juice if you like having more lemon taste in your salad dressing. After you try this out, do not forget to share your thoughts and tell us about any additional ingredients you may have tried to enhance its flavor.

A little bit of information on pasta before we continue to the recipe…
We find pasta mostly in Italian dishes, but it is believed that pasta originated in China. The core ingredients for making pasta are wheat and water. Additional ingredients like vegetable extracts and eggs are also used commonly when making pasta. There are two different types of pastas (dried and fresh) available in the market. Dried pasta is what we need for our recipe below.

Ingredients for our pasta salad recipe :
3 cups of pasta. (small shell shaped ones, macaroni, farfalle or fusilli are good choices)
Enough water to boil the pasta
half a cup of carrots, peeled and grated
half a cup of frozen peas
One small tomato seeded and cut into thin slices
1 small can of tuna, well drained
1/2 cup of Fat Free Mayonnaise

Method
Boil salted water in a large pot and cook pasta in it until firm and tender. Rinse with cold water and drain well. Combine pasta in a large salad bowl with rest of the ingredients and toss gently. Keep in the refrigerator for at least 30 mins before serving. You can add 1/2 cup of Fat Free Mayonnaise to this if you like. Serve chilled with your choice of salad dressing.

Add strawberries, grapes and lime juice. Toss gently while adding sugar. Cover the bowl and keep in a refrigerator. Serve chilled.

There are different variations of this salad and you can experiment with different fruit types etc. If you want the salad to look nicer, instead of adding the strawberries to it and mixing, you can arrange the slices nicely around the edge of the salad bowl after the salad is done. When adding sugar, you can taste it too see if it needs more sugar or not. Some people prefer it without sugar.
