Preparation Steps
- In a medium jar, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously until emulsified.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for about 15 minutes until tender.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add short pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the warm pasta with the prepared dressing. Gently fold in the roasted tomatoes, arugula, drained tuna, dill, and chives. Mix gently to combine.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, toss the salad gently to redistribute flavors. Add fresh arugula on top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.

Notes
For best flavor, prepare the salad a day in advance and chill. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
