Tuna Pasta Salad [Bulkbites.com]

• Servings: 2
• Time: 20 minutes

This is a very quick way to make a nice protein packed salad. Use the whole wheat pasta for some long chain carbs. Don't forget the olives, they are packed with anti oxidants and have a cleansing effect on the digestive system (always a good thing ;)
