Mediterranean-inspired tuna pasta salad

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

I could eat pasta morning, noon, and night. But I'll admit that a diet of unfettered carbs just isn't healthy. Lucky for me, Mark Bittman wrote an article some time ago encouraging us to continue eating our pasta, but to shake it up: instead of preparing a lot of pasta with a little sauce, make a lot of vegetable-inclined sauce with a small amount of pasta. This changed my life. This is inspired by this concept -- it's a leafy green salad with pasta mixed in, along with tuna, olives, and tomatoes. I have a major weakness for good canned tuna and this is such a refreshing way to eat it.
