How To Make tuna pasta salad

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain well and cool. While pasta is cooking mix all of dressing ingredients in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Chop vegetables, add to dressing and combine well. Drain tuna and add, finally add pasta and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. This is a must, in order to let flavors develop.
Step 3

Before serving this salad you will need to toss it to combine again. If salad is a little dry add a teaspoon of red wine vinegar and a tablespoon of mayo. Taste for seasoning, add salt and pepper to taste if needed.
