Delicious Pasta Tuna Salad

   I know, I know, it's been more than 6 months since I last posted anything here. I won't find any excuses and just let you wonder when I'll post the next one ;) 

   Today we'll talk about something really really good that I haven't made in a loooong time (years), therefore I forgot how good it is. So, when I tasted it again I instantly thought of sharing the joy :D

   This recipe was born as a tweak from an original recipe of a friend of Oliver's so my dear husband got creative and presented me this yummilicious salad and got me in love with it ever since! Here's the recipe:

Ingredients for 4 people:

300g small pasta (I used cornetti/elbows) + a bit of oil

1 red pepper

2 celery sticks

a big. red onion

3 tuna cans

1/2 cup mayo

dill

salt, pepper, chilli flakes

Steps:

1. Cook the pasta. Once it's cooked, cool it down under cold water until it's room temperature and then set it aside adding a bit of oil and mixing so that it doesn't stick together. 

2. Chop up in small cubes the red pepper, the celery sticks and the onion.

3. Chop up the dill.

4. Drain the oil from the tuna and mix the tuna with mayo.

5. Mix all the components together in a bowl.

6. Add salt, pepper and red chilli flakes to taste

7. Bon apetit! :D

Tuna Salad

   After having some heavy winter dinners we felt like switching things up so tonight we prepared this tuna salad that we love so much (my parents are raving about it even though they don't really try out new dishes a lot). It's so easy, fresh and healthy you will want to go for seconds! :)

Ingredients for 2-3 servings:
2 cans of tuna chunks (I'd recommend chunks instead of shredded tuna because you can get a better taste of the fish this way)
1 can of red beans
4-5 cherry tomatoes
2 cucumbers
1 medium red onion
2 green onions
some olives
a small can of corn
Optional: lettuce

Dressing:
4 Tbsp oil (from the tuna can)
3 garlic cloves
2 tsp grainy mustard
2 Tbsp water
A pinch of salt

Steps:
1. Dice the veggies.
2. Strain the tuna chunks but keep the oil from the can.
3. Make the dressing using oil from the tuna can.
4. Put the veggies, the tuna, the beans and the dressing in a bowl and mix well.
5. Enjoy your healthy dinner! :)
