Cold Pasta Salad with Tuna: A Refreshing and Hearty Meal

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool the pasta down. Set aside.
Prepare the Vegetables:

While the pasta is cooking, chop the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and any other vegetables you want to include. Set them aside.
Make the Dressing:

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar (or lemon juice), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Assemble the Salad:

In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, flaked tuna, chopped vegetables, and corn (if using). Gently mix everything together.
Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Chill and Serve:

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!
