Serve Orzo Tuna Salad At Your Next Picnic

Summer time is almost here and this salad is proof that spring and summer can collide so very well. I had some leftover asparagus in the fridge and it needed a home so here it is. This salad is definitely inspired by the Mediterranean, a place I've never been to but want to visit so badly! The past few summers I've had the Amalfi coast and Greece on my list of places to visit and I'm a little sad that I couldn't make it work this year either -- but that's ok! Because I have Hawaii in my near future so there are no tears.

I love mayonnaise type pasta salads; I will never say no to a pasta salad of any kind, to be honest. But sometimes a vinegar/olive oil based dressing is really nice and light. This one of the latter variety, giving you so much freshness and brightness in one bowl.
