Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 small shallot, minced
1 cup trimmed, chopped green beans
8 ounces dried farfalle
One 5-ounce can solid white tuna, preferably packed in olive oil, drained
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives
2 medium vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
  • Cook the green beans in the boiling water until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the beans to a colander with a slotted spoon and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Add them to the bowl with the dressing.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool; add to the bowl.
  • Add the tuna, basil, carrots, celery, chives and tomatoes to the bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. The pasta salad is best if served right away.
