Ingredients
250g of Farfalle
250 cherry tomatoes
200g tuna in oil (drained weight)
200g of buffalo mozzarella
50g of pitted black olives
Preparation
Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients Let's start by boiling the farfalle in salted water following the instructions on the package. Make sure you cook them al dente to keep a nice texture. Meanwhile, rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. This will bring a touch of color and freshness to the salad.
Step 2: Flavorful Tuna Drain the tuna in oil and crumble it with your fingers in a separate bowl. This ingredient will add a note of rich flavor and protein to the salad.
Step 3: Creamy Buffalo Mozzarella Cut the buffalo mozzarella into cubes. The creamy texture of the mozzarella will blend perfectly with the other ingredients, creating a balance between creaminess and freshness.
Step 4: Black Olives and Gusto Mediterraneo Slice the pitted black olives and keep them aside. Olives add a pop of savory flavor and a Mediterranean essence to the salad.
Step 5: Arranging the Salad In a large bowl, combine the cooked and drained farfalle, the halved cherry tomatoes, the crumbled tuna, the cubes of mozzarella and the sliced olives.
Step 6: Seasoning and Stirring Now it's time to add the seasoning. You can use a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to enhance the flavors and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to ensure all ingredients are well distributed and seasoned evenly.
Step 7: Presentation Transfer the Mediterranean Pasta Salad to a glamorous serving dish. You can garnish with some fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch.
Step 8: Enjoy!
