Zesty Tuna and Tomato Pasta Salad
Tossed chickpea pasta mixed with protein-rich tuna, juicy cherry tomatoes, and a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette for a refreshing and satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
6 oz canned tuna in water
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup baby arugula
2 tbsp red onion
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
5 whole kalamata olives
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down completely.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it into the bowl with the dressing.
Add the cooled pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, sliced kalamata olives, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl.
Gently fold in the baby arugula and toss all ingredients until well-coated in the dressing.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
