Ingredients

  • 2 cups macaroni pasta (or any other shape)
  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 cup tinned sweetcorn
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tins tuna (100 g each)
  • cup mayo
  • cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 lemon, juice only
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
  • Drain and rinse well with cold water until the pasta is completely cool.
  • Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Chop the spring onions, celery stalks and cherry tomatoes, and add them to the bowl together with the drained tuna and sweetcorn.
  • Mix all the ingredients.
  • Add the mayo, yogurt and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and mix everything together.
  • Serve immediately, or cover the bowl with clingfilm and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Make sure the pasta is cold before adding the mayo and yogurt mixture, otherwise the salad would look soggy and watery.
  • Also, the tuna needs to be drained well before adding it to the salad, or it could be too watery and sloppy.
