This Healthy Italian Tuna Pasta Salad is the perfect summer salad and is made with Zesty Italian salad dressing.
Yes I said it “Summer” and it’s official. We are finally saying goodbye to winter and hello to SUMMER 🙂
You can use just about any type of lettuce mixture for this salad, I choose a good mixture for mine as you can see and it was super delicious!
This salad can be thrown together in no time at all and is filled with 5 different types of salad mix, along with some bowtie pasta, tuna.
Then tossed in a healthy balsamic, garlic dressing that you are sure to love.
I went a little lighter on the pasta for this salad, I typically use three to four cups of pasta in my pasta salads.
However for this recipe I used two cups because I REALLY wanted to highlight this lettuce.
You can serve this for the main course or as a side dish.
Because it has two cans of tuna it can be a real filling dinner option, so do not let all the greens here fool you.
This salad can be enjoyed pretty much any time of year, but I know it will be best enjoyed on those long summer nights out on the back patio!
I can picture it now 🙂 Can’t you?
