Tuna and White Bean Pasta Salad

Trying to figure out the no meat lunch issue. I mean, cold cut sandwiches are out. Also Husb is home a lot more during the day with his new schedule. Its a challenge.

This has some protein and can be made in advance. Also we can go get it whenever we are hungry, which makes life easier.

Tuna and White Bean Pasta Salad


Ingredients:

2 small cans tuna
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed, (great northern, cannellini, navy, whatever its called)
1 stalk celery, diced
1 cucumber, peeled, deseeded, and diced
1 carrot, grated
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 bell pepper, deseeded, diced
1 cup frozen peas
1 box tri color rotini pasta, cooked according to box
2/3rds cup plain greek yogurt
1/3rd cup fresh herbs (I used parsley, basil, and a little thyme)
juice of 1/2 lemon or whole lime
1 tbsp dried dill
1 tbsp lemon pepper
salt to taste

Mix together yogurt, herbs, seasonings, and citrus juice.

Mix the tuna, veggies, and pasta. Add yogurt mix.

Chill and enjoy
