Number Of Ingredients 11

375 g fusilli
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved (I used a large tomato, chopped)
the kernels of 2 cooked ears corn (2 cups)
1 cup feta cheese, diced (see note) or 1 cup pearl bocconcini (see note)
7 ounces flaked light tuna, drained
3 green onions, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lime, juice of
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 2 tablespoons parsley
1 teaspoon sugar
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and oil lightly. Let cool in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate.
  • Variation: For a salad that could appeal to more kids, use bocconcini cheese, and in the grown-up version, use feta cheese.
