👨‍🍳 Instructions

Soak red onion in a bowl of ice water in refrigerator to remove strong taste, at least 30 minutes.

Drain and rinse.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain and rinse under cold water.

Mix onion, pasta, tuna, celery, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, parsley, basil, capers, and Greek dressing together in a large bowl.

Allow to marinate in refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
