Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 small shallot, minced
1 cup trimmed, chopped green beans
8 ounces dried farfalle
One 5-ounce can solid white tuna, preferably packed in olive oil, drained
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives
2 medium vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
  • Cook the green beans in the boiling water until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the beans to a colander with a slotted spoon and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Add them to the bowl with the dressing.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool; add to the bowl.
  • Add the tuna, basil, carrots, celery, chives and tomatoes to the bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. The pasta salad is best if served right away.

The pasta was a bit overcooked. I think I'll cook it for less time next time.

This salad was a bit too heavy on the mayonnaise for my taste. I think I'll use less next time.
