2 servings

60 minutes

This vegetable salad with pasta, tuna, and croutons is a true anthem of Mediterranean cuisine, where the freshness of vegetables harmoniously combines with the rich taste of tuna and the crunch of croutons. The origins of this dish trace back to the European tradition of using pasta in salads for heartiness, while the addition of greens and seafood makes it both light and nutritious. Avocado adds a delicate creamy texture, while seeds and nuts provide a refined nutty note. This salad is perfect for both a light lunch and dinner, filling the body with energy and nutrients. Its taste is a harmony of freshness, softness, and slight acidity from tomatoes, accented by the spiciness of onions and the sweet aroma of peppers. Serving it with your favorite dressing allows you to create your ideal version of this delightful dish.
