Directions
- Boil the elbow pasta in a medium saucepan with salted water until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together tzatziki, balsamic vinaigrette, and the dried oregano, black pepper, and salt to form a cohesive dressing.
- Drain the tuna and break it into flakes, adding it to the dressing bowl to combine.
- Wash and trim the cucumber; dice into small pieces and fold into the tuna mixture.
- Rinse and halve the grape tomatoes, then add them along with the shredded carrots to the bowl; mix to distribute evenly.
- Slice the olives into thin rounds and stir them in.
- Add the cooled pasta to the bowl and gently toss until everything is evenly coated and coated with dressing. Crumble feta over the top for serving.
Two tips
- Leftovers: keep in a sealed container for up to 2 days; store the feta separately if possible and add before serving.
- Serving idea: serve over a bed of greens or with crusty bread for a fuller meal.
