This recipe makes a quick, easy and delicious lunch and also stores well as meal prep during the week. You can easily double the recipe and keep it for lunches. We’ve used store-bought tzatziki but you could make your own if you’re feeling fancy.
Ingredients
120g buckwheat pasta
¼ red onion
1 small Lebanese cucumber
200g grape tomatoes
185g tin tuna in chilli oil
3 tbsp tzatziki
2 tbsp sliced kalamata olives
¼ red onion
1 small Lebanese cucumber
200g grape tomatoes
185g tin tuna in chilli oil
3 tbsp tzatziki
2 tbsp sliced kalamata olives
Method
- Cook water according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold running water to remove any excess starch (this will stop the pasta from sticking together when cooled).
- Remove the seeds from the cucumber and cut them into half-moons. Halve the tomatoes and finely dice the red onion.
- Add the onion, cucumber, and tomato into a mixing bowl with the cooked and cooled pasta. Drain the tuna and add to the bowl with the tzatziki and olives. Mix to combine.
Notes:
- We’ve used buckwheat pasta to make this gluten free but swap for any pasta of your choice.
