Tips To Prepare It

For this Mediterranean cold pasta salad recipe, we use natural canned tuna, but you can also use tuna in oil, what I do recommend is to remove a little of the oil so as not to add so much fat to the salad.

As for the type of pasta for this cold salad, we always recommend short pasta, such as plum, elbow, macaroni, etc..
