Tuna pasta salad

Ingredients

For the dressing:

1. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2. 2 tablespoons lemon juice
3. 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4. 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
5. 1 garlic clove, minced

For the salad:

6. 2 cups uncooked whole-wheat bow tie pasta (farfalle)
7. 2 cans (6 ounces each) unsalted white tuna packed in water, drained
8. 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
9. 2/3 cup frozen peas, thawed
10. 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, if desired
11. 4 cups fresh spinach

Directions

To start, make the vinaigrette. In a small jar or bowl, add oil, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard and minced garlic. Mix well. Set aside.

Then fill a large pot 3/4 full with water. Bring water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook until tender (al dente) — about 10 to 12 minutes — or according to the package directions. Drain the pasta thoroughly and rinse under cold water.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, tuna, onions, peas, pepper and vinaigrette. Toss to mix well. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours.

To serve, place 1 cup of spinach on each of 4 chilled plates. Top each serving with 1/4 of the tuna salad and serve immediately.
