Directions:
Step 1: Get the pasta ready.
Make the pasta. Boil the pasta in a big pot of salted water until it is cooked just right, following the directions on the package. Drain the food and rinse it with cold water to make it stop cooking. Allow to cool completely.
Next, get the dressing ready.
Prepare the dressing: In a little bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Put aside.
Step 3: Put the salad together.
Mix the ingredients together. In a big bowl, mix together the cooked pasta, drained tuna, chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes cut in half, chopped red bell pepper, sliced red onion, black olives, and fresh parsley.
Put on the sauce. Pour the dressing you made over the pasta salad and mix gently to make sure all ingredients are covered evenly.
Step 4: Relax and Enjoy!
Cool: Put a lid on the bowl and place it in the fridge for at least 1 hour so the flavors can mix.
Serve: Before you serve the dish, taste it and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Add some fresh parsley leaves on top and serve cold.
Advice:
Differences: Include more vegetables like peas, cooked green beans, or marinated artichokes based on what you like.
Storage: The tuna pasta salad can be stored in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
