A refreshing and flavorful tuna pasta salad with a zesty twist, perfect for any occasion.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Rinsing the pasta with cold water stops the cooking process and cools it down for the salad.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for a brighter flavor.
Combine the cooked pasta, tuna, grated carrot, and halved cherry tomatoes in a serving bowl.
Ensure the pasta is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the salad.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Toss the salad gently to avoid breaking the tuna chunks.
Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
