Salad Recipes: Tuna Pasta Salad (+More Great Recipes!)

These salad recipes include a wide variety of flavors from sweet fruit salad to cucumber vinegar salad and more! They are easy to make and packed full of flavorful ingredients. Plus, most of these salad recipes can be made in advance (and they make tasty leftovers, too)!

Author | Angela

Servings: 6 servings Calories: 351kcal Prep 5 minutes Cooking 10 minutes Refrigerate 30 minutes Total Time 45 minutes

Pin Recipe Share on Facebook Ingredients US CustomaryMetric1x2x3x▢ 8 oz bowtie pasta (uncooked, or your favorite pasta)▢ 12 oz tuna (canned, light or albacore tuna packed in water, drained)▢ 1 cup celery (chopped, 2-3 ribs)▢ 1 cup peas (frozen, thawed)▢ ½ cup mayonnaise▢ ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain)▢ ¼ cup red onion (chopped, about ½ a large red onion)▢ ¼ teaspoon each, salt & pepper▢ dill weed (fresh or dried, to taste)

InstructionsBoil the bowtie (farfalle pasta) noodles according to the instructions on the box until al dente (firm to the bite). When done, drain the cooked noodles and rinse them under cold water until they’re cool to the touch.8 oz bowtie pastaIn a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta with all ingredients (tuna, celery, onion, peas, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, dill weed, salt, and pepper). 12 oz tuna, 1 cup celery, 1 cup peas, ½ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup Greek yogurt, ¼ cup red onion, ¼ teaspoon each, salt & pepper, dill weedMix until combined and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to ‘marry’ before serving. Equipment You May NeedMixing BowlcolanderPot Notes If making in advance, keep the sauce and pasta separate! The pasta will easily soak up the sauce and become mushy, so I recommend not combining until the day you’re serving it. Use canned tuna either packed in water or oil! If your grocery store carries it, I recommend getting Italian tuna packed in oil. It has extra flavor and less of that fishy aroma. Be sure to still drain it before using! Whole fat Greek yogurt makes for a creamier sauce! I recommend using 5% fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor. You can also use 2% or fat-free Greek yogurt if preferred! Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but your tuna pasta salad is best eaten within the first 1-2 days.
