Tuna pasta salad…it’s one of those foods that you either love or hate. Even if your childhood memories of this dish aren’t the most fond, this week’s recipe might just change your mind. With the convenience of a can opener, and no cook time, tuna offers a great source of satiating protein and omega 3 fats! Now that’s pretty hard to beat in terms of a quick, whole food source of a lean protein. If you love Mediterranean flavours, then this recipe is for you! It packs some serious low FODMAP flavour thanks to the Kalamata olives and fresh basil.

Today’s recipe is being shared with us by Registered Dietitian Audrey Inouye! Audrey is back with us after her awesome guest post last week all about How to Conquer your High FODMAP Cravings. If you haven’t already checked it out, I highly recommend you do 😉

This recipe is reliably good and pleases everyone at the dinner table, including the cook. It can be pulled together in a matter of minutes with what you have in your cupboard and fridge, and can be enjoyed hot or cold, making it great for next-day lunch leftovers! For a complete meal, serve with steamed carrots or a mixed green salad.
