Creamy Zesty Tuna Pasta Salad
Boiled chickpea pasta tossed with protein-rich tuna and a zesty, creamy lemon-herb dressing for a refreshing bite that feels light yet satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta
4 oz canned tuna in water
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp avocado oil mayonnaise
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
0.25 cup celery
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta for 7-9 minutes or until al dente.
Drain the pasta and rinse immediately under cold running water to cool it down and prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, avocado oil mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and lemon zest, whisking until the dressing is smooth.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it into the dressing bowl using a fork.
Add the cooled pasta, diced celery, finely chopped red onion, and fresh parsley to the bowl.
Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, then toss all ingredients together until the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy dressing.
Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen.
