Method
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the pasta according to the pack instructions until al dente.
- Chop the cucumber into chunky pieces. Cut the tomatoes in half.
- Drain the pasta, transfer it to a large bowl and leave to cool slightly. Stir in the pesto (the oil in it will stop the pasta sticking).
- Roughly flake the tuna and stir into the pasta, along with the chopped cucumber and tomatoes. Season and add the French dressing and stir it all together.
- Eat the pasta salad straightaway or cover and chill in the fridge for up to 2 days.
