Easy Tuna Pasta Salad Recipe
I had to share this Tuna Pasta Salad Recipe with you before I forget all about it again. This pasta salad is a cold salad, but there is no rule for not to enjoy it in winter! This salad is a great salad to take to your office, maybe add more pasta, and it can turn into a light lunch.
What You Need to Make a Tuna Pasta Salad
The ingredients are low in calories, available, and when mixed tastes awesome. What you need:
Canned Tuna. I use the one that has water since there is enough fat in the mayonnaise.
Cucumber.
Onion, any type will do, we are not going to use much.
Black olives, the green olives are sourer, but you can still use it in this recipe.
Cherry tomatoes are great and add to the flavor of the salad.
How to Make a Simple Tuna Pasta Salad
- First thing first, use fresh vegetables. Make sure the vegetables are not looking all sad, it will affect the taste of the salad.
- In a bowl, add the vegetables and then pour the dressing.
- Mix the vegetables and the dressing well and then garnish with sliced boiled eggs before serving.
- Tuna pasta salad is a cold salad, so when done making it and if you are not serving it immediately, then place it in a plastic container and refrigerate.

Although this salad can be served as a brunch, it is best served with your main dish. Serve it with my Fall of The Bone Ribs, or try it with my Crispy Spicy Chicken Wings.
