Ingredients
Salad: 8 oz cooked pasta; penne, small shells, or any other shape available1 cup each of diced celery and tomatoes1/2 cup chopped onions1 6-oz can albacore tuna in water, lightly drained and shredded with fingersDressing: 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tsp brown mustard, whisked together
Serving size: About 1/4 of salad
Cook 1/2 of an 8 oz box of pasta according to package directions. Rinse with cold water when cooked to preferred doneness to stop pasta from continuing to cook.
Combine pasta, vegetables, and tuna in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and bruwn mustard, whisking together. Pour over salad and mix thoroughly, cover and refrigerate until chilled or overnight, turning and stirring every couple of hours.
If the salad seems a little dry, with refrigeration the tomatoes will release their juices into the salad and add to the moisture in the salad.
