Classic Tuna Pasta Salad is a versatile and satisfying dish often associated with American comfort cuisine. This salad combines tender pasta with protein-rich tuna, fresh veggies like celery and red onion, and a creamy, tangy dressing typically made with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. Some variations include peas, bell peppers, or boiled eggs for added flavor and texture. Its origins can be traced to mid-20th century potluck staples, where it became popular for its convenience and nutritious ingredients. High in protein and carbs, it can serve as a balanced meal, though the calorie content may increase depending on the dressing choice. Opting for whole-grain pasta, yogurt-based dressing, and additional veggies can enhance its nutritional profile, boosting fiber and reducing saturated fat. Ideal for meal prep, this dish brings a burst of flavor and nutrients to your table, whether served chilled on its own or as a side dish.
