Recipe: Pastasalad with tuna

I have tried out this new recipe today and decided to share it with you right away. It is a very refreshing salad perfect for those typical summer days, when you are in for something light but still delicious. The great thing about this salad is that you can make as much as you want, put the left over in the refrigerator and have a great lunch the next day!

What you will need (4 portions):

• 350 grams of pasta 
• 65 grams of pine nuts
• 1 courgette
• about 20 small tomatoes
• 4 teaspoons of capers
• 500 grams of tuna (in sunflower oil)
• 2 spoons of greek yoghurt
• 2 spoons of mayonnaise
• pepper
• salt
• italian spices

Preparation:

1. Cook the pasta following the instructions on the wrapper. After, put the pasta in a colander and wash with cold water
2. Heat up a frying pan and put the pine nuts in there for a minute (keep tossing them in the pan). Afterwards, take them out and put them in a bowl
3. Slice the courgette and put some salt and italian spices on it. Put them in the frying pan with some oil and bake the courgette until it turns a little brown. Take it out of the pan and put it into the bowl with pine nuts
4. You can now add the pasta, tomatoes, capers and tuna into that same bowl and mix the ingredients
5. For the dressing, which is additional, mix the greek yoghurt and mayonnaise with some salt and pepper. You can also put in some orange juice for the sweetness
6. Put the dressing over the pastasalad and mix it all together, and there you have your healthy salad!

I like to have a little bit of bite together with my salad, this is why I also made bread snacks (see the picture).

What you will need (you can make as much as you want):

• a couple of slices of bread
• some olive oil
• salt
• italian spices

Preparation:

1. Put the slices of bread into a toaster
2. Take the toasts out of the toaster and cut them in strips
3. Take a bowl and mix a dash of olive oil, some salt and some italian spices
4. Dip the strips of toast into the bowl one by one for a few seconds
5. The bread snacks are done!
