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.
