Creamy Zesty Tuna Pasta Salad
Chilled whole wheat pasta tossed with protein-rich tuna and crisp vegetables in a creamy, zesty lemon-dill yogurt dressing for a refreshing bite.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz whole wheat fusilli pasta
6 oz canned tuna in water
0.25 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
0.5 cup celery
0.25 cup red onion
0.5 cup red bell pepper
1 tbsp fresh dill
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente.
Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it with a fork into the bowl with the pasta.
Finely dice the celery, red onion, and red bell pepper, adding them to the pasta and tuna mixture.
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the creamy dressing over the pasta salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Fold in the freshly chopped dill and serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
