Tuna Pasta Salad
1/2 lb. green beans, trimmed, cut into 1″ long pieces(or use frozen green beans, thawed)
3/4 lb. rotini or other corkscrew pasta
2(6-oz.) cans solid white tuna, packed in water, drained
5 green onions, chopped
1 large tomato, seeded & chopped
1/2 C. chopped pitted black olives(preferably brine-cured)
