How to Make Mediterranean Tuna Pasta Salad
- **Make the Lemon Vinaigrette:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- **Cook the Pasta:** Cook 1 pound pasta (your choice of shape) according to package directions. Drain well and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
- **Prepare the Vegetables:** Chop 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, 1/2 cup cucumber (diced), 1/2 cup red onion (finely chopped), and 1/2 cup bell pepper (any color, diced).
- **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, prepared vegetables, 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (halved), 2 cups mixed salad greens, and 2 (5 ounce) cans of white albacore tuna (drained).
- **Dress the Salad:** Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
- **Garnish and Serve:** Sprinkle 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese over the salad before serving. Enjoy!
