I really loved the concept for this salad. I tweaked it a bit though because I thought the proportions were not exactly what I like. I added more tuna and used less pasta (plus I used whole wheat). I loved the dressing but cut down on the olive oil a bit. I also, on the second day, served it over a bed of spinach leaves and it was very very good. A nice salad!
