Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz dry whole-wheat rotini or fusilli
  • 2 (5-oz) cans chunk light tuna in water, drained
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, plus more for serving

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and shake dry.
  2. Whisk the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, tuna, celery, tomatoes, and red onion. Pour the dressing over the top and fold gently until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Transfer to a serving bowl or containers, then top with the remaining fresh dill and serve cold.

Notes

The salad tastes even better after an hour in the fridge, so it’s a great make-ahead option. If you’re packing it for lunch, hold back a little dressing and stir it in right before eating to freshen it up.
