This tuna pasta salad mixes whole-wheat fusilli, vegetables, tuna, and a light, creamy dressing for an easy lunch you can make quickly.

It is cold, filling, and very simple to keep on repeat.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz whole wheat fusilli pasta, cooked
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup green onion
  • 3 oz tuna
  • 1/4 cup sweetcorn
  • 1 tsp low fat mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp fat free plain yogurt
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

1. Put the cooked fusilli in a large bowl.
2. Add the red bell pepper, green onion, tuna, and sweetcorn.
3. Stir the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and yogurt in a small bowl until smooth.
4. Spoon the dressing over the pasta mixture.
5. Season with salt and black pepper.
6. Toss until the salad is evenly coated.
7. Spoon onto a plate and serve.

Notes

  • Cool the pasta before mixing so the dressing stays creamy.
  • Break the tuna up gently so you still get a few larger flakes in the salad.
  • This salad tastes best cold or just lightly chilled.
