Tuna Pasta Salad Recipe with Lemon, Green Olives, and Cucumber (from Kalyn's Kitchen)

(Serves 1)

60g dried pasta shapes

1/2 can tuna
5 black or green olives, halved
1/2 small Persian cucumber, cut into small dice
salt and pepper

For the dressing:

zest and juice from 1/4 lemon
1/2 tsp olive brine (from olive jar)
1/2 tbsp mayonnaise

1/2 tbsp natural yoghurt

splash olive oil

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the pasta, stir, and cook according to packet instructions. Drain, run under the cold tap and drain again well.

Mix together the zest and juice of lemon, the olive brine, mayo and yoghurt, whisk in the olive oil.

Add the tuna, sliced olives, and chopped cucumbers to a bowl that's big enough to hold all the salad and mix in about half the dressing.  Gently stir in the pasta and as much additional dressing as you need for the salad to be as wet as you'd like it. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
