Mediterranean Tuna Pasta Salad

Mediterranean Tuna Pasta Salad

Tuna is high in Omega 3 which is why we think it should be incorporated into our weekly menu.

• 150g green beans, trimmed, chopped
• 2 x 185g tuna in olive oil, drained, flaked
• 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped

• 8 drained marinated artichoke quarters
