Ingredients

3/4 pound rotini or other corkscrew pasta
2 6-1/8 ounce cans solid white tuna, packed in water, drained
5 green onions, chopped
1 large tomato, seeded, chopped
1/2 cup chopped pitted black olives (preferably brine-cured)
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Step 2

    Place tuna in large bowl; break into small pieces. Add green onions, tomato, black olives, pasta and green beans. Mix mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar and celery salt in small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix dressing into pasta salad and serve.
