About this recipe
Tuna pasta salad is a light, chilled take on a pasta meal that also works well in a lunchbox. Short pasta provides a filling base, tuna packed in water adds protein, and cucumber and tomato bring freshness and juiciness. Yogurt makes a simple dressing that binds the ingredients without weighing down the salad. Rinse the cooked pasta briefly with cool water and drain it thoroughly so it does not soften the vegetables. Serve immediately or after a short chill, while the ingredients remain fresh and distinct.
