Take an old French classic and tweak it with this Nicoise Tuna Pasta Salad. Filled with tuna, egg, and vegetables but serve in a pasta salad, the traditional salad feels new again.
In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
Chop the potatoes into bite sized pieces. Cut the hardcooked eggs into quarters and then cut each quarter into half.
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, egg pieces, chunks of tuna, black olives, tomatoes, cucumber slices, and peppers. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with the basil. Serve with additional dressing on the side.
Notes
If making ahead of time, do not dress until ready to serve.
