Tuna and Olive Cavatappi Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package cavatappi pasta
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 (11 ounce) cans albacore tuna, drained
  • 1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives
  • 4 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1/2 medium white onion, chopped
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Fill a substantial pot with water that has been lightly seasoned with salt, and then bring it to a rolling boil.
2
Next, add the cavatappi pasta to the boiling water and cook it with occasional stirring until it reaches your desired level of doneness, which should take around 9-10 minutes.
3
Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, remove it from the water with a slotted spoon and submerge it in cold running water to stop the cooking process.
4
Drain the pasta thoroughly and transfer it to a large serving container.
5
Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, canned tuna, pitted olives, diced celery, chopped onion, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
6
Then, mix the pasta with the tuna mixture until everything is fully incorporated and you're left with a deliciously combined dish.
7
Finally, serve the pasta immediately or refrigerate it until you're ready to enjoy it.
