Ingredients
– Gluten-free pasta (choose a shape like penne, fusilli, or shells)
– 1 can (about 5 to 6 oz) tuna
– 1 large tomato, diced
– 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
– 1 can (about 15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
– 1 small red onion, finely chopped(optional)

– 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
– 1/4 cup vegan mayo

– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh herbs (like parsley or dill), for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta:
– Cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Be careful not to overcook, as gluten-free pasta can become mushy if overdone. Trust me
– Once cooked, drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
2. Prepare your Salad:
– Drain the can of tuna and flake into a large mixing bowl.
– Dice the tomato, chop the celery, rinse and drain the black beans, finely chop the red onion, and halve the Kalamata olives. Add these to the bowl with the tuna.
3.In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and vegan mayo. Stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Add the cooled pasta to the bowl with the tuna and vegetables. Pour over the dressing and gently mix until everything is well coated.
5. ENJOY
– Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the salad. Give it a light mix or leave it as a topping. Garnish with fresh herbs if using.
– Add more salt and pepper if needed.
This salad is a fantastic blend of flavors and textures, combining the heartiness of tuna and pasta with the freshness of the vegetables, the creaminess of the Greek yogurt and vegan mayo dressing, and the tangy kick of the feta cheese. It’s a complete meal that’s both satisfying and nutritious, perfect for a busy day.
