Mediterranean Tuna Pasta Salad
Al dente chickpea pasta tossed with flaky tuna and crisp Mediterranean vegetables in a zesty, bright lemon-oregano vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz canned tuna in water
1 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup cucumber
2 tbsp red onion
0.75 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
5 whole kalamata olives
1 cup baby spinach
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
While the pasta cooks, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber into small cubes, and finely mince the red onion.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it into the bowl with the dressing using a fork.
Add the cooled pasta, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, and baby spinach to the bowl.
Toss all ingredients together until evenly coated with the vinaigrette and serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
