Original Day Family Cookbook

Good buffet dish.

• • 1 oz. garlic clove, peeled and crushed

  • 1/3 cup olive oil

  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 4 oz. small thin ruffled edged noodles

  • 2 7-oz. cans white tuna in oil, drain and flake a bit

  • 1 cup pitted black olives, cut in half

  • 1 large sweet red pepper, seeded and cut in slices

  • ¼ cup capers

  • 1/3 cup minced fresh parsley, packed

  • salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

Mix garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice, and set aside. Cook noodles. Combine cooked noodles and toss with dressing, add tuna, etc. Season with a little salt, add plenty of fresh ground pepper. Put aside for a whole day and then taste before adding any more seasoning. No lettuce, please, but it looks pretty in a deep glass dish. May be made 2 days ahead.
