Tuna Nicoise Pasta Salad

Name: Tuna Nicoise Pasta Salad
Total time: 45 min
Yield: Serves 12 (serving size: 1 1/3 cups)
Ingredients: 1 pound small uncooked pasta (such as gemelli or cavatappi); 8 ounces trimmed haricots verts (French green beans); ½ cup olive oil; ¼ cup fresh lemon juice; 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided; 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, divided; 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 1 teaspoon honey; 1 teaspoon lemon zest; ½ teaspoon ground black pepper; 1 (15-oz.) can Navy beans, drained and rinsed; 1 (12-oz.) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped; 2 cups halved grape tomatoes (24 grape tomatoes); ⅓ cup halved, pitted kalamata olives (16 olives); ⅓ cup halved, pitted Castelvetrano olives (10 olives); 2 tablespoons drained capers; 2 (5-oz.) cans oil-packed tuna, drained; 6 hard boiled eggs, quartered

Think you can’t make a classy meal out of pantry staples? Think again. Canned tuna, dry pasta, and navy beans unite with shelf-stable powerhouses like artichoke hearts, Castelvetrano olives, and honey to form this French-inspired salad. You only need a little bit of produce to make this dish feel fresh, and like other oil-based pasta salads, it gets more flavorful the longer it sits. Canned tuna never looked so good.
