Warm Pasta Salad with Spinach, Tuna, and Capers


Around the time New Year's resolutions were being established, I wanted to whip up something light, refreshing, and healthy to balance out all the decadence I had indulged in the week before.  It was then that I discovered this pasta salad, and it's been in the rotation ever since.

You can eat this salad warm as an entree, or cold as a side.  The lemon and garlic dressing is tangy and fresh, and honestly makes me feel a little bit more summery as I look out the window on this cold January day.  I also really like the leftovers cold the next day for lunch!

Oh my gosh - this salad is calling my name!! Capers are one of my favs - I can eat them directly out of the jar. I can't wait to try this! xo

i adore the brilliant simplicity of this dish! i just got a pasta maker for christmas so i think i'll bookmark this recipe for when i make some homemade stuff... I can just imagine the flavors of this in summer time with fresh from the front yard garden off-the-vine tomatoes :) some basil may even make it in there too
