Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Cheese tortellini
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna in water
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Black olives (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside to cool.
While the tortellini is cooling, drain the canned tuna and flake it into bite-sized pieces using a fork. Set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, and slice the black olives if not pre-sliced.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, flaked tuna, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and chopped parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the tortellini mixture and gently toss until everything is well coated. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
