Light and Luscious Pasta-Tuna Salad

This salad can serve as a meal in itself. Even though it has a distinctive restaurant flavor, it’s very easy to prepare at home. It tastes best after sitting in the fridge for an hour or two.

I would like to serve this for Third Meal. Do I prepare it before Shabbos? will it still feel fresh on Shabbos?? If I do it on Shabbos, what about the crushed garlic? can I crush garlic on shabbos??

HIT! We make this over and over... got it from my aunt who had clipped it years ago from a FF magazine. A real winner!! So glad to see it digitalized here.
