My daughter calls this the Little Mermaid salad, since it features tuna fish and shell pasta. It's an ideal low fat salad to take along to a potluck or picnic.

Ingredients:
8 ounces medium shell pasta
7-ounce pouch chunk light tuna
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
3/4 cup yellow pepper, chopped
1 6-ounce can or jar artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed and chopped
1/2 dry pint cherry tomatoes, halved
.
Dressing:
1/4 cup fat-free, reduced sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Black pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano

Preparation:
Cook pasta according to instructions on package. Drain and cool. Combine tuna, celery, onion, pepper, artichoke hearts and tomatoes in a large bowl with cooled pasta. Whisk dressing ingredients together and drizzle over tuna and pasta. Toss well, and chill until ready to serve.
