The secret to this delicious pasta salad is a creamy low-fat dressing made with bottled roasted red peppers. If you have cooked chicken on hand, you can substitute it for the tuna.

1 6-ounce can  chunk light tuna in water, drained
1 7-ounce jar  roasted red peppers, rinsed and sliced (2/3 cup), divided
1/2 cup  finely chopped red onion or scallions
2 tablespoons  capers, rinsed, coarsely chopped if large
2 tablespoons  nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons  chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon  extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons  lemon juice
1 small clove  garlic, crushed and peeled
1/8 teaspoon  salt, or to taste

FINALLY a pasta dish that fits my healthy and low cal diet. This was quick to make, and the servings are ample! I was amazed at the flavor, and will make it again for guests this summer. I ate it tonight with cold broccoli dressed with a spritz of honey mustard dressing. The whole meal was just terrific, and I was under my caloric quota today!
