Pesto Tuna Pasta Salad
6
I love having salads like this in my fridge during the summer for a quick, delicious and easy lunch. Using store bought pesto with lemon juice added is genius because it really freshens up the flavor!
4
1 (6 oz.) jar basil pesto
Juice of 1 lemon
2 (6 oz.) cans water packed tuna, drained
4 green onions, sliced
1 roasted red pepper, diced (I roasted my own but you can certainly buy jarred)
16-20 grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 lb. medium shell pasta cooked al dente and rinsed with cold water
Salt and pepper to taste

Place the pesto in a large bowl and stir in the lemon juice. Add the tuna and flake it with a fork. Add the green onion, roasted red pepper, grape tomatoes and pasta and stir to combine. Season to taste...
