Ingredients

• 12 ounces Cheese tortellini
• 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna in water
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Black olives (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside to cool.

Step 2

While the tortellini is cooling, drain the canned tuna and flake it into bite-sized pieces using a fork. Set aside.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, and slice the black olives if not pre-sliced.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, flaked tuna, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and chopped parsley.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the tortellini mixture and gently toss until everything is well coated. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Step 7

Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
