Tuna Chickpea Pasta Salad
If you love the classic tuna macaroni salad, you'll love this version of mine. It's simple, packed with added protein from the chickpea pasta and canned tuna. This pasta salad is an entire meal in one! Super filling and perfect for meal prep.
Ingredients
- 1 box (8.8oz) Chickpea Pasta (I used Barilla Brand)
- 1 can Tuna (I used Wild Planet Foods)
- 1/2 Red Onion
- 1 small/med Carrot
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1-2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- In a pot, add water and salt (bring it to a boil). Next, add the pasta to the boiling water (cook for 7 min, after 7 min, turn the heat off and let the pasta cook for two more minutes).
- Prep the other ingredients while the pasta is cooking. Start with prepping and draining the tuna very well.
- Chop the carrot and onion and set aside.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- In a large bowl or baking dish, combine the pasta and ingredients. Taste and adjust to your liking. Season with salt and pepper. Add more apple cider vinegar for more tang, mayo, etc.
- Stir well, cover the pasta salad, and pop it into the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
