Tuna Pasta Salad

 

It's hot here in Wales - and I mean ... hot !! Unusual for us as we get a lot of rain here and pretty inclement weather. I'm not sure what I had planned for dinner this evening but any idea went out of the window when I settled on a nice crunchy salad.

Honestly you can put whatever you like in this salad but here are the bones of a decent tuna pasta salad.

Ingredients

300g Dry Weight Pasta

2 Large Spring Onions Finely Sliced

1 Cup Tinned Sweetcorn

1 Finely Diced Red Pepper

1 Cup Fresh Peas

1 100g Tin No Drain Tuna

1 Cup Greek Yogurt

1/2 Cup Mayonnaise

1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard

Salt and Pepper

Cook pasta as per instructions and once just cooked stop cooking by draining and plunging into very cold water, drain very thoroughly and add to vegetables in large bowl.Add flaked tuna and stir to mix.

Mix mayonnaise, mustard, yogurt, salt and pepper to make a nice creamy dressing and coat all the pasta and vegetables. 

Chill and serve - simple but delicious.

So many things that you can add to this, chopped red onion, chopped cucumber, gherkins, olives, tomatoes, celery, radishes ... really anything that you have available in the fridge, it makes a great fridge last minute dinner.
