Ingredients
  

  • 300 g Tuna Canned
  • 200 g Pasta Fusilli
  • 100 g Sweetcorn Frozen
  • 100 g Mayonnaise
  • 100 g Yoghurt Greek Style
  • 1 tsp Mustard
  • 1/2 Onion Red
  • 1/4 Cucumber
  • 1 Tomato
  • 1/2 Salt
  • 1/2 Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
  • Add the pasta to the water and cook for 10-12 minutes on a gentle simmer until the pasta is al dente (See Note 1).
  • Drain and rinse with cold water, so your pasta doesn’t stick.
  • In a separate bowl add mayonnaise, and Greek yoghurt and combine.
  • Then add your veggies, salt, black pepper, and mustard and mix together (See Note 2).
  • Finally, add the cooked pasta to the salad and combine.
  • It can be served immediately or chilled first to allow the flavours to meld slightly.

Notes

Note 1 – Al dente refers to when the pasta is cooked just enough to retain a somewhat firm texture with a bit of a bite
Note 2 - You can substitute any other vegetables you choose for the ones that are used in my recipe. Peas are a popular alternative to sweetcorn
