Cubed tuna steak dresses up this hearty, Greek-style pasta salad. The mild tuna flavor blends nicely with the olives, feta cheese and veggies.—Sarah Farley, Greenfield, Wisconsin Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked bow tie pasta |
2 tuna steaks (8 ounces each), cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped |
1 small red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings |
1/3 cup halved pitted greek olives |
1 large tomato, cut into wedges |
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute tuna in 1 tablespoon oil until fish flakes easily with a fork; cool.
2. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper and remaining oil; shake well.
3. Drain pasta and rinse in cold water.
4. In a large salad bowl, combine the pasta, tuna, cucumber, onion, olives, tomato and feta cheese. Drizzle with dressing; gently toss to coat. Yield: 4 servings.
