Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Maple Syrup
  • Salt and Pepper To taste
  • 8 ounces Penne Cooked and rinsed under cold water
  • 1 tablespoon Capers
  • handful Fresh Parsley Chopped
  • 1 small Red Onion Chopped
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Black Olives
  • 16 ounces Cherry Tomatoes Halved
  • 1 Yellow Bell Pepper Sliced
  • 1 small can Tuna Drained
  • 2 large handful Fresh Arugula

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Add the penne, capers, parsley, onion, olives, tomatoes, bell pepper, tuna, and arugula to the dressing and toss well.
  • I recommend serving the salad immediately. Double the dressing if you want to make it ahead of time, keep the salad well chilled and add the extra dressing just before serving. I’d also recommend adding the arugula last-minute, else it will wilt.
