The retro tuna salad with pasta, peas and mayo is really not my thing. Just thinking about that makes me shudder. But this Italian inspired version is pretty darn delicious. Great flavors, fresh tuna, and tons of veggies. This is my kind of salad.
This is the perfect Summer salad. It is light, has a ton of protein and you don’t have to worry about it spoiling quickly because there is no mayo in it. Perfect for your next potluck.
