Healthy Tuna Pasta Salad Recipe « Clean & Delicious (2024)

I love tuna but my husband doesn’t. Will this work with cooked chicken too? Or do you have a quick and easy chicken salad recipe? Thanks!

HOw do I find the recipe so I can try it.. everytime I try to log in it sends me to the youtube video…thank you, Janet Looks yummy

What a great idea. I’ll pick up the ingredients today for my lunch tomorrow. Really good idea Dani.

Agree – looking for a recipe to print so I can get the nutritional information.

You are a talented person to come up with a recipe like this one. I’m so happy you decided to share it with the world. 😀

I was surprised at how yummy this recipe is, I love how you can not taste the Greek Yogurt, it taste as though it was made with all mayo! I will definitely be incorporating this ratio into my other salads. Thanks for a tasty healthy recipe!

I love to use Greek Yogurt whenever possible. Great nutritional value and adds such creaminess. Thanks for posting this, Dani!

Hi Dani, thanks for all the amazing recipes. Just wondering if this recipe is okay to freeze/defrost?
Cheers 🙂

Made this last night and packed it for lunch today and it was amazingly good. The longer it stays in the fridge the better it gets. I also noticed that it gave me energy after lunch and I didn’t feel tired and lethargic like I usually do. Keep these wonderful recipes coming! Yum!

Loving your recipes! Made the brown rice and spinach fritatta yesterday and had for lunch… Going to try this one tonight! Can’t wait 🙂

This looks great. I’m making it tonight. What size cans of tuna did you use?

Made this yesterday for dinner and have it in the fridge for lunch today. Your recipes are always a hit…really!

Kicked this one up a notch w/dijon mustard, fresh dill and a mixture of red & sweet onions. Yep! Co worker suggested kidney beans for an extra bit of protein & fun. Sure, why not.

Hi Dani…
How long does this yummy tuna pasta keep ??

Wow, I was super skeptical about this recipe. It looked delicious, but the red wine vinegar threw me off when I read it. However, I made it, and its DELICIOUS! Seriously the best tuna salad recipe I have ever tried. Thank you!! 🙂

I was looking for a new pasta salad that was healthy too. I saw this on Pinterest today and made it for dinner tonight. It is SO good – thank you very much! You have a new fan!

Hi Dani, is there any alternatives instead of using the red wine vinegar?

Dani! I’m a fan! This had such great taste! I used what I had — 2 cups cooked rainbow twists, green peppers instead of celery and no peas (since I had none and am not the greatest of fans). Soooo good! In fact, it just might be the best tuna pasta salad (or tuna salad itself, for that matter) I have ever made. Love the addition of the red wine vinegar! And the lightness that comes from greek yogurt! Ah, permanent addition to my repertoire!

I loved this simple and easy recipe! I’m not a huge fan of yogurt but I do really like this flavor!

What size cans of tuna?

Another winning recipe, Dani!! I followed this to the letter except for the pasta. I used whole grain Rotini because I couldn’t find whole grain elbows in my store. It came out excellent! I’ll be sharing this with my friends. Oh, also, I honestly didn’t think the Greek yogurt/mayo mix would be good but I was pleasantly surprised! Thanks so much, Dani!! Keep doing what you are doing!!

I love your recipes and tips. It was recommended by my nutritionist to use your website and I am glad she told me about you. I love that you give us the Nutritional Analysis for each recipe but you don’t show the sodium level and I am watching my daily sodium intake for medical necessity. Why is that?

Can you eat hot or cold? I can’t stand the taste or smell of yogurt, can you taste the yogurt? I’d love to try though.

I made this today , I couldn’t find any plain Greek yogurt so I used Yoplait Greek vanilla and veggie penne regati pasta. I only wished I had real mayo on hand instead of my Kraft fat free mayo. I used apple cider vinegar because I couldn’t find red wine vinegar. I love the taste best when the salad is heated.

I found that the 2 cans of tuna was to much. I will use only 1 can next time. I also found it needed alot seasoning it was very bland. I added in a tsp of relish and a tsp of mustard and it was much better.

Hi Dani!
I just discovered your recipes. I made this tuna pasta and your granola recipes today and have it ready for lunch this week. They are so delicious! I added corn and sliced apple to my pasta salad and used apple cider vinegar (I couldn’t find red wine vinegar too).Good swap out with using Greek yogurt. It still retains that creamy texture like mayo and tastes great. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

I would love to make this but I don’t eat mayo, what else can I use?

I left out the pasta and used this as filling in a whole wheat tortilla. Yum!

I gave NEVER left a comment on a recipe before but this is sooooo GOOD that I HAD to! I hate yogurt of all kinds so I don’t even know why I made this (pic looked so good). Thanks so much for this recipe. PS I did’t use the vinegar and it was still devine.

Hi Dani. We do not have a wine vinegar where i live. What can i use to substitute the red wine vinegar?

Just moved and doing lots of packing & unpacking. This recipe was so easy to put together in the midst of all the chaos and it will be great for a quick & healthy lunch. Thank you for sharing it., I didn’t have Red wine vinegar, so I tried some Key Lime juice that I had & it worked well.

HELLO I MADE THE PASTA TUNA SALAD AND IT WAS GREAT.I REALLY NEEDED SOMETHING LIKE THIS.SOMETHING LITE.EAT RIGHT LIKE SALADS AND NOT FRIED FOODS ALL THE TIME.THANK YOU FRIEND

This is so good! The red wine vinegar is the secret ingredient that makes it extra great! I tried red lentil pasta with it and it turned out perfectly!

This was so easy to make and incredibly delicious! Already made it twice (don’t worry…I’m single and only using one can of tuna)!

You’ve done it again….another wonderful, healthy recipe. I was hesitant to do the Greek yogurt but followed your recipe exactly and would never have known it had yogurt in it. My husband was surprised as well. This is definitely be in the rotation. Thanks Dani!

Delicious recipe! The combination of yogurt, mayo and red wine vinegar made this a most unique dish. Thank you, this will be one of our staples!

This was so yummy. Will definitely be putting this in my regular rotation. Quick and easy. I used ancient grain rotini as that’s what I had in the pantry. Thanks for all of your clean and delicious recipes!

I was so nervous to make this but it turned out to be a new favorite in this house!

Just made this today. Thought the peas were not going to go well with the tuna but it is delicious. I also used wheat pasta instead of regular. Great for meal prep. Thank you Dani.

Love this recipe!! I added some bacon crumbles and a handful of shredded Colby jack to it. My daughter ate it up!! So, so delicious!

Simple, delicious and comforting! I actually really loved the combo of yogurt and mayo. It gave a nice creaminess without all the extra fat. I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for sharing!

Made this recipe today! I was so pleased with it! The pasta salad is so fresh, crunchy, and just hits the spot in every way! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!

Nice warmer day out and I made this. Delicious! I usually just throw in whatever is in the fridge but not today! Will definitly make this again! Bring on summer!

This recipe is the best! I use red lentil pasta and it turns out amazing every time. This has become a go-to recipe for quick lunches around here! Thanks Dani!
