Mediterranean Tuna Pasta Salad
Chilled whole wheat pasta tossed with flaky skipjack tuna and crisp cucumbers in a zesty lemon-herb dressing for a refreshing and protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked whole wheat penne pasta
5 oz canned skipjack tuna in water
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup cucumber
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 oz feta cheese
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Boil the whole wheat penne in salted water until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Drain the canned skipjack tuna thoroughly and flake it into bite-sized pieces using a fork in a medium mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber into small cubes, finely mince the red onion, and roughly chop the fresh parsley.
In a small glass jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chilled pasta, flaked tuna, prepared vegetables, and crumbled feta cheese.
Pour the lemon-herb dressing over the salad and toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated and well combined.
