How to Make Tuna Orzo Salad

  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo, drained tuna, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  3. **For a cold salad:** Stir well to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled on lettuce leaves.
  4. **For a warm salad:** Stir well to combine. Pour mixture into a greased casserole dish.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Serve warm with parmesan cheese and toasted bread or croutons.
