Ingredients

  • 1 box of rainbow fusilli (such as Macaroni and Co.)
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) olive oil
  • 1 L (4 cups) raw vegetables of your choice, diced and/or shredded (see Note)
  • 2 green onions, chopped, or 60 mL (1/4 cup) finely chopped red onion
  • 2 - 120 g (4 oz) cans flaked tuna, drained
  • 80 ml (1/3 cup) store-bought hummus
  • 80 ml (1/3 cup) plain Greek yogurt
  • Pepper and salt, to taste

Note : I chose peppers, grated carrots, cherry tomatoes and broccoli.

Preparation

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the fusilli according to package directions. Drain, then stir in olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  2. In a bowl, combine hummus and Greek yogurt. Season generously with pepper and add a pinch of salt.
  3. Add pasta, vegetables, green onions and tuna. Mix well.
  4. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve cold.

Notes

Can be kept up to 4 days in the refrigerator and does not freeze.
