Pasta Salad with Tuna
INGREDIENTS:
500g fusilli pasta (good quality)
370gr of chunky Tuna in olive oil (normally 2 cans)
1 x medium size can of corn
100g mixed baby spinach and rocket leaves
1 x large carrot (peeled)
2 x tablespoons of mayonnaise (you may want to add more!)
2 x handfuls of black pitted olives
2 x pinches of dried herbs
2 x pinches of rock salt
Extra virgin olive oil
Approx 4.5L water
UTENSILS:
1 x 5L pot
1 x sharp knife
1 x large spoon for mixing
1 x large salad bowl
1 x colander
Add 4.5L to your large pot on put it on the stove on high heat to boil.
Once it begins to boil, add 2 pinches of rock salt and stir through. Then, add the fusilli pasta to the pot.
Follow the cooking instructions on the packet of pasta for the cooking time.
Cut the carrot into small cubes.
Slice each of the pitted olives in half.
Make sure the baby spinach and rocket leaves are washed and left to the side to dry.
Once the pasta is cooked, put the colander inside the sink and turn the cold water on (keep the tap to the side of the colander, not on top of it). This will help when you strain the pasta in the colander.
After you have emptied the pot, rinse the pasta with the cold water to stop the cooking process and also to cool down the pasta. If you have time to wait, put this to the side and add extra virgin olive oil while it cools down so it doesnt go dry and stick together.
Once the pasta is cooled down, pour it into a large salad bowl.
Add corn and salad and stir these through the pasta.
Then, add tuna, olives, carrots and dried mixed herbs.
Add a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil and 2 x tablespoons of mayonnaise.
Stir the ingredients through really well, making sure you break down all the chunky pieces of tuna.
Add another generous amount of mayonnaise (to your liking) and ensure there is enough extra virgin olive oil to keep the dish moist.
Cover the bowl with cling wrap (Glad wrap) and place it in the fridge so it keeps cold.
HOW TO SERVE:
This dish is best enjoyed in company in a relaxed environment so why not put it inside a container, grab some disposable plates and head out for a picnic?!
You can also serve this in small portions as a starter or as a side dish at a party at home.
E ora si mangia Vincenzo's Plate...enjoy!

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?
