Types:
- CKD non-dialysis
- Diabetes
- Dialysis
- Lower Protein
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked bow-tie pasta
- 1/4 cup celery
- 2 tablespoons yellow bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onion
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup low-sodium Italian salad dressing
- 5 ounces canned low-sodium tuna in water
Preparation
- Chop celery, bell pepper and green onion.
- Combine cooked pasta, celery, bell pepper, onion and lemon zest in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and salad dressing.
- Pour dressing over pasta mixture.
- Add tuna to pasta mixture.
- Mix gently until all ingredients are moist and well blended.
- Refrigerate one hour to let flavors blend.
Helpful hints
- Macaroni can be substituted for bow-tie pasta.
- Make low-sodium dressing using the Italian Dressing recipe on DaVita.com or shop for Italian dressing with lowest sodium content. Powdered dressing mix is a good choice because the sodium can be adjusted by using less of the mix.
- If low-sodium tuna is unavailable, reduce sodium in regular tuna by rinsing for one minute.
