How To Make Tuna Pasta Salad – Best Tips & Tricks
1. Use your favorite pasta.
I made this easy tuna pasta salad with penne, but you can change them with your favorite pasta. And here are some good ideas that you can try:
fusilli
farfalle (ribbons)
gemelli (twins)
conchiglie (shells)
Also, if you really want to keep it healthy, you should go for whole-wheat and gluten-free pasta.
2. Change the veggies with your favorites
I made this healthy tuna pasta salad with sweetcorn, olives, capers, tomatoes and arugula, and I gotta’ tell you it came out crazy delish.
But I know we all like different tastes and flavors, and the good news is that you can easily add in your favorites.
Instead of arugula, you could go for lettuce, Iceberg or baby spinach. If you don’t like the tuna pasta salad with corn or tomatoes, you could try it with cucumber, bell peppers, shredded carrots, avocado, beetroot, zucchini… you name it.
3. Making this healthy tuna pasta salad for meal prep
You can make it in advance, then cover and refrigerate it, without the dressing, for up to 2 days. Pour the dressing in only before serving.
If you want to do meal prep for more than 2 days, you need to make the dressing ahead and keep it separate in a tight-lidded jar for up to 5 days.
Then, you’ll need to cook the pasta and keep it separate in an air-tight container for up to 5 days as well. After cooking the pasta, remember to mix it with a bit of olive oil to keep it from drying up.
Before serving, chop the veggies, mix everything together and that’s it really. Hard to believe it’s so easy to make a healthy and delicious meal, right?
4. You can even change the dressing
If you want to change the dressing, try a yogurt or mustard-based one, and here are a few good ideas: honey-mustard, greek yogurt or lemon mustard dressing. Any of them will fit great with this tuna pasta salad.
In the end, I’ll summarize what you need to remember in order to make the best tuna pasta salad:
You can use any kind of dry short-cut pasta like fusilli, farfalle (ribbons), Gemelli (twins), conchiglie (shells).
Make this easy tuna salad with your favorite veggies like corn, tomato, cucumber, bell peppers, carrots, avocado, beetroot, zucchini, etc.
You can do meal prep with it, just remember to keep the ingredients separate (dressing, pasta, and veggies) and mix them only before serving.
If you want you can change the dressing with any yogurt or mustard-based dressing.
Now that you know my best tips and tricks, it’s time to show you how to make tuna pasta salad.
Oh, and after you make it let me know what you think of it, ok?
