    Tips:

    Use any pasta you like; however, I recommend the small kinds.
    Chickpeas can be a replacement to kidney beans.
    If you don't want to use mayonnaise, I recommend using Greek yoghurt. 

    What else to add to this salad?

    You can add some green or black olives, some chopped basil, or dill.

    Is tuna healthy?

    Yes, it is. Tuna has high levels of omega-3 that help reduce LDL cholesterol, which affects the heart badly.
