In this video, we’ll cover everything from selecting the best ingredients to mastering the dressing. We’ll also talk about why each ingredient is chosen, focusing on their nutritional benefits and why they make this salad a powerhouse meal. Starting with the base, our pasta is cooked al dente to hold up well in the salad and keep it satisfying, while the red onions, bell peppers, cucumbers, and fresh dill bring in that crisp, refreshing bite that makes every forkful a delight. The tuna adds lean protein, perfect for supporting your energy and muscle recovery, especially if you’re active or on-the-go.
Next, let’s talk dressing! Instead of a heavy dressing, we’re making a lighter, creamy blend of Greek yogurt and a touch of mayo, with extra virgin olive oil to add healthy fats and smooth texture. A splash of lemon juice brightens it up, while chili sauce brings a subtle kick that keeps you coming back for more! We’ll also add a sprinkle of black pepper and salt to season it perfectly.
In terms of meal prep, this salad is a winner because it stays fresh and flavorful in the fridge for several days. Whether you’re packing lunch for work, meal prepping for a busy week, or just want a healthy option ready to go, this Tuna Pasta Salad fits seamlessly into any schedule.
