Ingredients

½ (12 ounce) box dry fettuccine pasta
1 (12 ounce) can albacore tuna in water, drained and flaked
3 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
⅓ cup thinly sliced red onion
¼ cup pitted olives, halved
½ cup red wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 ½ teaspoons olive oil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried basil
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 dash ground black pepper

Steps:

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain.
Place pasta in a large bowl; add tuna, tomatoes, red onion, and olives.
Combine vinegar, garlic, oil, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake vinaigrette well. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
