Green Tuna Pasta Salad

Green Tuna Pasta Salad Confession: I've never been a huge tuna person, but this recipe converted me. I crave this easy pasta salad constantly and it's a great lunch for work. If you're not into asparagus, you can swap it out for any vegetable that tastes good blanched, like broccoli or green beans. If you wanted to make this vegan, you can swap tuna out for chickpeas, but it won't have the same savory flavor profile. It's really all about the sauce! This recipe is perfect for using up herbs on their last legs. Use whatever you have on hand!
