Ingredients
- 4 cups uncooked pasta (we used bow-ties)
- 5- 6 oz tuna
- 3 sticks celery (chopped)
- 3 tbsp red onion (fine chopped)
- 2 mini cucumbers (small diced/chopped)
-
11/2 cups small tomatoes (halved, grape or cherry- we used a medley of colors)
- 1- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
-
2 tbsp La Tourangelle Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/4 cup La Tourangelle Roasted Walnut Oil
- 2 tsp honey and salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Cook pasta al dente per package instructions. Drain, rinse and set aside.
- Prep all produce: chop celery, onion, cucumbers and parsley. Halve tomatoes.
- Combine all prepped produce in a large mixing bowl. Then add tuna, and cooked pasta. Gently mix to combine.
- Next, make dressing by combining vinegar, La Tourangelle Roasted Walnut Oil and honey in a jar with lid. Cover and shake until thoroughly mixed. Alternatively you can whisk vigorously to combine.
- Pour approximately half of the dressing onto your pasta salad and carefully toss to coat. Reserve remaining dressing, in the refrigerator (covered).
- Generously season pasta salad with salt and pepper to taste.
- Then, portion pasta salad out and cover individually, or store covered in a large bowl in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Tip: Allowing pasta salad to sit in refrigerator for at least a couple of hours really helps the flavor!
- Once ready to enjoy, simply remove from refrigerator and top with additional dressing as desired.
