Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday pot luck party, hosted by Michael at Designs by Gollum. Isn't this just the best way to end the work week?!?
My contribution this week is Tuna Egg Salad with Farfalle and butterfly biscuits.
Did you see the cute little butterfly biscuits? I used the little cookie cutters that I won in Gollum's giveaway last week.
The salad passed the hubby test. He went back for more!
Tuna Salad with Farfalle
1 (12-ounce) package Farfalle
2 (6-ounce) cans or pouches of tuna, drained
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar or Swiss cheese
4 green onions with tops, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup regular or low-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Cook Farfalle according to package directions. Drain, run under cold water, and drain well. Put into a large bowl. Stir in tuna, cheese, onions and tomatoes.
For dressing, stir together mayonnaise, pickle relish, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. (Salad may be refrigerated for several hours. Add more dressing if too dry.)
Makes 4 - 6 servings.

Note: I tweaked the recipe somewhat to use food that I had on hand.
- One pouch of tuna and 2 boiled eggs.
- I'm a kalamata olive addict and poured the liquid into the dressing twice!
- Added a small can of chopped black olives.
- Used lime juice instead of lemon juice.
- Garlic salt.
I just love these little cookie cutters and had such a fun time cutting out biscuit shapes! Many thanks to Michael for her generous giveaway last week!
Enjoy!

Mmm... sounds good! The only thing I would omit is the relish. Icky. The only relish I like is homemade, just with onion and pickle.
Justine :o )

I love your orchid and your window seating. So pretty!

Tuna salad is one of my favorites. It tastes like an indulgence, yet it can be low cal and low carb. The pasta adds such a kick and testure. Your butterfly biscuits are precious. I'm so glad you're enjoying them!

I love tuna salad. Your recipe sounds really good. I love that you used your new cookie cutters for the cute little biscuits.
I don't know what looks better...the food or the sunshine and green grass I spy out that window. I could use a good dose of both!!
Thanks Diane, this looks very good!
Diane - you ca't go wrong with tuna salad..so many ways to dress it up! Love your additions to it..the butterfly biscuits are perfect addition!

The biscuit cut outs are so cute and the salad would be perfect on a spring or summer afternoon.

The bird cage votive holders are terrific!
I also have a snowboarding son. I'm showing my son your son's picture at Lake Tahoe.
I really like tuna, and that sounds like a good new way to fix it. Also thought your table setting was beautiful - pretty white underplates! Linda
That's a cute idea to use cookie cutter for biscuits.
I want those cookie cutters! They would go with my new dishes! I love them and that salad, I will so do but I'll have to use salmon, not a big fan of tuna. Thanks!

Just came by to see what was for lunch and noticed that you have grass out your window! Good grief, it's 6 degrees and sunny here with another 7 inch snowfall overnight. Supposed to get down to -12 tonight. I don't envy people all that often but right now your weather is a dream!
Sounds yummy, very different! I would have to leave out the onions. I love them but they HATE me!
