Italian Orzo Tuna Salad
This Italian Orzo Tuna Salad recipe is one of my all-time faves -- fresh, zesty, savory, and blessedly mayo-free.

Ingredients
4 servings
Instructions
- Cook orzo in a large stockpot of generously-salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, then rinse thoroughly with cold water in a colander until the pasta is completely chilled.
- Transfer pasta to a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and prepared dressing (see below), and toss until evenly combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Then serve immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
- Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl (or shake together in a mason jar) until combined. Use immediately or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
