Drain and rinse the pasta with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down. Prepare the Vegetables: Finely dice 1/4 of a cucumber, 1 tomato, and 1/2 an onion. Add the diced vegetables to a large mixing bowl along with 1/2 cup of sweetcorn and some chopped fresh parsley. Add the Tuna: Drain 2 cans of tuna and add them to the bowl with the vegetables. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together 4 tbsp low-fat mayonnaise, 4 tbsp low-fat Greek-style yoghurt, 2 tbsp vinegar, the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp mustard until smooth and well combined. Combine and Mix: Pour the sauce over the pasta salad mixture. Sprinkle with chilli flakes and black pepper to taste. Mix everything very well until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce. Serve: Serve the salad with crackers for a delightful meal. Tips and Tricks Pasta Choice: Opt for short pasta like fusilli, penne, or farfalle as they hold the dressing well. Cooling Pasta: Rinsing the pasta with cold water stops the cooking process and prevents it from becoming mushy. Fresh Herbs: Fresh parsley adds a burst of flavor; consider adding other herbs like dill or basil for variety. Canned Tuna: Choose tuna packed in water for a lighter option, or in olive oil for a richer flavor. Adjusting Consistency: If the salad seems too dry, add a bit more yoghurt or a splash of olive oil. Make Ahead: This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a few hours to let the flavors meld together. Serving Suggestions: Pair with a fresh green salad or a slice of crusty bread for a more substantial meal. Enjoy your delicious and refreshing Tuna Pasta
