- 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)
- ⅓ cup mayo
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 lemon, juice only
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
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.
- 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.
