TUNA VEGGIE PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to directions, drain, and set aside (I cook them while I chop the veggies). Zest the lemon into the bowl. Squeeze the lemon's juice into the bowl (tip: zap the lemon in the microwave for 5 seconds and then roll it on the counter with your palm to get more juice out of it). Add the garlic and basil. Add the olive oil (I base my "correct" amount of E.V.O.O. based on the consistency of the dressing- I like it to be about the consistency of salsa). Whisk everything together (and take a big whiff while you're at it- you'll think you've died and gone to heaven). Start chopping the veggies as chunky or fine as you want. Throw them in the bowl with the dressing as you go. When you're done with the veggies, add the pepporicini slices and olives. Then add the well drained tuna and mix everything together just until the dressing is totally incorporated. Now is a good time to adjust the seasonings and/or olive oil, so take a taste test and make your additions (or don't) accordingly. Finally, when the pasta is reasonably cool, add it in gradually and mix thoroughly (and as gently as possible). Let it chill in the fridge for a couple hours and enjoy!

CREAMY VEGGIE TUNA PASTA SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, and red onion. Let pickle for about 15 minutes.
• Remove the stems from the yellow and red bell peppers. Cut off the sides of the peppers, keeping the seeds and tops intact in the centers, then slice into strips and dice into small pieces. Transfer the bell peppers to the bowl with the pickled onion, along with the diced celery, grated carrots, tuna, and pasta. Toss to combine.
• Make the herb mayo dressing: In a small bowl, combine the cumin seeds, turmeric, white vinegar, Dijon mustard, Hellmann's® Mayonnaise, salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, basil, chives, and carrot tops. Whisk until smooth.
• Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss until well coated.
• Garnish with the celery leaves and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
