2(5oz) cans of tuna packed in water, drained (I used Wild Planet Skipjack Light Tuna)
1/2cupmayo
1/2cupwhole milk greek yogurt
1/2medium red onion, finely chopped
1stalk celery, finely chopped
1tbspdijon mustard
1tbspfresh lemon juice
1/4tspgarlic powder
1/4tspcayenne powder
sea salt to taste
Instructions
In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add sea salt and pasta, and let cook, stirring often, until just tender. While the pasta is cooking place the drained tuna into a large bowl and flake with a fork. Drain the pasta when al dente, and rinse with cold water until it's cool, then drain shortly. You want the pasta to still be slightly wet. Place it into a large bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayo and yogurt, dijon mustard, onion, celery, lemon juice, parsley, garlic powder and cayenne powder, then give it a couple of minutes to absorb the flavors. Add the sauce to the pasta and tuna and gently mix to combine. Let sit until the texture of the salad is no longer watery, about 5-10 minutes. Season to taste with sea salt, then serve.
Notes
The reason for leaving a little water on the pasta is so that it absorbs the water and not the dressing, resulting in it being dry.
