For the vinaigrette:

Preparation:

1. The first thing will be to prepare our vinaigrette, to do this we will mix all the ingredients in a bowl, stir to mix and set aside.
2. We fill our 24cm high Lima saucepan with plenty of water, put it on the heat and once it starts to boil we add the pasta and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Once cooked, transfer to a drainer and run under cold water to stop the cooking. We drain well and transfer to a bowl.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pasta, the cherry tomatoes cut in half, the cheese in small cubes, the corn and the tuna (we can use the tuna oil to make the vinaigrette, it will be much tastier).
5. Finally we add the vinaigrette, stir to mix and serve.
