Ingredients
- 1 pound dried tri-color tortellini pasta
- 2 ounce cans yellowfin tuna in olive oil reserve the olive oil for use in the salad
- 12 ounces red cherry tomatoes quartered
- 1-2 shallots finely diced
- ½ cup chive vinaigrette or a vinaigrette of your choosing
- fresh chives, chopped optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook tortellini according to package directions. Rinse tortellini with cold water to prevent them from continuing to cook. Let excess water strain off and add tortellini to a bowl.
- Add 2 (5-ounce) cans of tuna in olive oil to a bowl. The olive oil the tuna is packed in will be added to the salad as it’s packed with flavor.
- Add quartered cherry tomatoes, diced shallots, and strained tortellini to the bowl. Add Chive Vinaigrette (or a vinaigrette of your choosing) and stir until well combined.
- Refrigerate in a lidded container until serving. For best results, chill for 2-4 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
- When serving, garnish with freshly chopped chives (optional).
