  Made this for 2 packed lunches but really the amounts were only enough for one decent portion. Tasted good, but despite using 2-3tbsp of pesto it was still rather dry.

  Agree with comment above - tastes nice, but despite large quantities of pesto and extra oil added, was still really dry. The tuna just seems to soak up the oil, leaving none to coat the pasta.

  Love it! Used sundried tomato pesto and it was still great! Agree with the others too, add a bit more olive oil and normal pesto and sundried tomato pesto and it's perfect. The capers were such a tasty addition, I had never actually used them and was a bit worried, but it was delicious! Plus, it's easy to double the quantities.

  Small portion though, would probably use a bit more, but it tastes great! I'm going to make it again for dinner. :)

  Love this - so tasty. I added mayo just so it wasn't too dry. Also made the kid friendly one for my son and his friend - didn't go down very well at all.

  Really nice recipe. Made it without the Tuna, Capers and tomatoes just because i didn't have them at the time but it was still really tasty and if i had used tuna would probably be even better.

  I really like the salad, make it very often. The only problem I had is that the portions are small, so I'm always making at least double.

  Quick to make and like a few have mentioned, I did add another tbsp of olive oil and pesto. Bit on the dry side despite adding the extra, feel its missing something! maybe add some black olives or feta, not sure but needs zinging up!

  Anybody got any ideas what I could add to this instead of tuna? I'm veggie, so would like to add an alternative source of protein - maybe roast marinated tofu?
