Greetings! Cook the pasta about 1-2 minutes less that the package directions. The pasta will absorb the dressing and would become a bit soggy by the next day (if there's any left).
Canned chicken, canned crabmeat picked through for cartilage or frozen tiny salad shrimp, thawed can be substituted for the tuna. I also will garnish with grape tomatoes sliced in half just before serving.

Well your strategy certainly seems to be working for you my friend. I should really think about mimicking or “at least” trying a few of the things you do more often.

Good information. I like the commenting system and the platform is very handy. I am sorry for the off topic nevertheless, but I cannot help but talk about the breaking information. Andrew Breitbart died today and he had been only 43. I am still recouping from this news because I was a major supporter of the man's column. What a distress.
