Ingredients

  • 3 cups uncooked egg noodles
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tomato, chopped

Directions

This recipe is very good, a little rich, but it's flavorful. I'd make this again.
