Boil pasta in lightly salted water according to the package instructions. When the pasta is ready, drain it in a colander and let it cool.
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly and prepare a deep bowl for them. Cut the radishes into thin circles, and the carrot into thin slices. Then chop the red and yellow bell peppers into strips.
If the cherry tomatoes are small, add them whole. If they are large, cut them in half or into quarters. With the olives, you can add them whole or slice them.
Finely cut the parsley and add it to the vegetables. Peel the green peas from the pods and also add them to the bowl. Drain the tuna, cut it into small pieces, and add it to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
Now, add the cooked and chilled pasta to the bowl. Drizzle it with olive oil and add seasoning.

This recipe calls for a combination of red and yellow bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, radishes, carrots, and green peas, but feel free to add in any other vegetables that you like or have on hand. The more colors, the better!
Once the pasta salad has been dressed with olive oil and seasoned, it is best to serve it immediately, as the pasta will start to absorb the dressing and become less flavorful over time.
