Tuna pasta salad

Lets admit it, we have all attempted to eat a tuna salad for a week with the intention of being super duper healthy.  There is nothing wrong with that! I even applaud you! There is one minor problem though. A tuna, lettuce, tomato and cucumber salad can get so boring and it tastes very bland after a while.

Tuna is a great source of protein and omega 3 fatty acids! A tuna salad can be great too, with this recipe! We have packed in different tastes and textures to add to the excitement. Plus, the seeded mustard adds a delicious flavour to pull the whole recipe together.

You can make up a big batch of this recipe and have it as a side with your dinners, or pack it for lunch. Tuna salad doesn’t have to be boring, you can still be super duper healthy without having to eat bland food all week. Can I get a ‘YAY’!
