Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by boiling 2 cups of pasta in a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Once finished, drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it under cold water to cool it down.
- While the pasta cools, take a large mixing bowl and combine 1 can of drained tuna, ½ cup of diced bell peppers, ½ cup of diced cucumbers, ¼ cup of chopped red onion, and ¼ cup of halved cherry tomatoes.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooled pasta to the bowl with the vegetable and tuna mixture. Use a spatula to carefully fold in the pasta.
- Pour the creamy dressing over your salad mixture. Gently toss all the ingredients together until they're well coated with the dressing.
- Before serving, give your Tuna Pasta Salad a taste test. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Your Tuna Pasta Salad is now ready to enjoy! Serve it immediately or refrigerate it for later.

Notes
Letting your Tuna Pasta Salad sit in the fridge for an hour before serving allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
