Tuna & Artichoke Pasta Salad image

I have been making this light, tangy pasta salad ever since I was at the University of Wyoming in the late 1980s. Made with pantry ingredients, it's quick and easy. A nice lunch or summertime dinner with fresh fruit or hearty bread. Sometimes I add halved cherry or grape tomatoes for a little sweetness. Leftovers are just as good! (Prep time does not include cooking time for pasta.)

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the salad didn't turn out as expected. The dressing was too oily and the tuna was dry.

This salad was a bit too bland for me. I would have liked it better with a more flavorful dressing.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I really enjoyed this salad. The artichoke hearts and vegetables really balanced out the flavor of the tuna.
