Mediterranean Tuna Pasta Salad
Al dente chickpea pasta tossed with flaky tuna, crisp cucumbers, and tangy feta in a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
6 oz Canned skipjack tuna
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup Cucumber
2 tbsp Red onion
5 whole Kalamata olives
0.5 oz Feta cheese
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, drain the canned tuna and place it in a large mixing bowl, flaking it gently with a fork.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, mince the red onion, and slice the kalamata olives.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drain the cooked pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down.
Add the cooled pasta, prepared vegetables, olives, and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl with the tuna.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
