As the summer approaches, quick, easy, tasty, and light food vibes is the way I go.
But also filling, in my opinion life is to god damn short to battling with them hunger pangs.
This meal is becoming a firm favourite in our house ,and one I just had to share.
So everyone loves tuna pasta right? Of course if you are a vegetarian, leave the tuna out, the basis of this dish and the ultimate star, is the dressing.
