Ingredients

• 1 box of Elbow Macaroni (1 lb box)
• 1 cans of Tuna (5 oz can)
• 1/2 Cup Celery, chopped
• 1/4 Cup Red Onion, chopped (I don't love the flavor of raw onions, so if you do feel free to add more!)
• 1/2 Cup Carrot, shredded
• 1 Tbsp Capers
• 1 Tbsp Flat leave parsley, chopped
• 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar (or cider vinegar works fine too!)
• 1/3 cup of Plain yogurt (I am using Greek plain yogurt in this demo, but both of it taste about the same!)
• 2 Tbsp Light/ Olive oil Mayonnaise
• Salt and pepper to season

  4. In a salad bowl, combine diced celery, onions, shredded carrots, tuna, macaroni, and chopped parsley.

  *Measurements for the yogurt, and light mayonnaise is just a recommendation. I suggest to add extra yogurt instead of mayonnaise if it's dry to keep the calorie down.
