Creamy Zesty Tuna Pasta Salad
Al dente chickpea pasta tossed with flaky tuna and a bright lemon-yogurt dressing, featuring crisp diced vegetables for a refreshing crunch.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
5 oz tuna in water
0.25 cup non-fat greek yogurt
0.25 whole avocado
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
0.5 cup celery
0.25 cup red onion
0.25 cup fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it into the bowl with the dressing using a fork.
Add the cooled chickpea pasta, diced celery, diced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl.
Toss all the ingredients gently until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated in the zesty dressing.
Slice the avocado and place it on top of the salad or gently fold it in just before serving to maintain its texture.
