Mediterranean Pasta Salad
Pasta salad is the ultimate summer dish, and this Mediterranean-inspired pasta salad is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Tossed with cool and refreshing cucumber slices, zesty marinated olives, and creamy hummus, it's a delicious meal that tastes great hot or cold.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons plain hummus
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
- ½ cup canned quartered artichoke hearts, drained and cut in half
- 1 cup lightly packed baby kale
- 4 pitted Kalamata olives, roughly chopped
- 1 (3 ounce) can no-salt-added light tuna in water, drained
- ½ cup cooked farfalle, preferably whole-wheat
- 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon toasted chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon Juice from 1/4 lemon
Directions:
Whisk hummus and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper; cook for 1 minute. Add artichoke hearts, kale, and olives. Gently stir in tuna, trying not to not break up large pieces; cook until the tuna is warmed, about 1 minute more. Stir in pasta. Remove from heat and toss with the hummus sauce. Top with feta and walnuts and drizzle with lemon juice, if desired.
Tips
To make ahead: Cook pasta up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate.
