A delicious and easy-to-make tuna pasta salad with a creamy dressing, perfect for any occasion.
Cook the pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and let cool.
Rinse the pasta with cold water after draining to stop the cooking process and cool it down quickly.
Chop the red onion finely and set aside.
Soak the chopped onion in cold water for a few minutes to reduce its sharpness.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, canned tuna, and chopped onion.
Flake the tuna with a fork before mixing to ensure even distribution.
In a separate bowl, mix the light mayonnaise, ground black pepper, and fine salt to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed before adding it to the salad.
Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Ensure all ingredients are well coated for a consistent flavor.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad in individual bowls and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an added touch of freshness.
