Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook until just tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.

2. While the pasta cooks, trim the green bean ends if using fresh. Add the beans to the boiling water for the last 2 to 3 minutes until crisp-tender, or use canned beans drained. Drain and cool.

3. Place the cooled pasta and green beans in a large bowl.

4. Add the sliced red onion, diced tomato, chopped basil, and drained tuna to the bowl. Gently break up the tuna with a fork.

5. Pour the Italian dressing over the salad and toss well to coat.

6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors blend. Toss again before serving cold.
