Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 250 g spaghetti
  • 2 small cans of tuna in oil
  • 125 g grapes, blue
  • 2 bananas, not too ripe
  • 1 small can/mandarin orange(s)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cups of yogurt (150 g each)
  • 3 tbsp tomato ketchup, good quality
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • some salt and pepper
  • 10 pieces of green olives with pepper filling

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Cook the spaghetti in salted water according to the instructions, but not too soft. Chop the tuna with about half the oil, setting the rest aside. Halve and deseed the grapes. Slice the bananas. Thinly slice the olives and mix all the ingredients together. Finally, carefully fold in the mandarin oranges so they don’t get mashed. Whisk together the lemon juice, yogurt, tomato ketchup, the remaining tuna oil, mandarin orange juice, sugar, salt, and pepper to create a smooth marinade. Pour over the salad and mix gently again. Leave in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. The pasta will absorb all the liquid.
