GREEK TUNA PASTA SALAD

Greek Tuna Pasta Salad image

ZWT 6. I adapted this recipe from a hot dish in The Little Noodle Cookbook by Patrica Stapley. I like it better cold. The original recipe called for water-packed chunk tuna, but I like to use tuna in olive oil. If you use olive oil packed tuna, you don't drain the can and you can omit 1 tbsp of olive oil from the recipe.
