Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create a dressing. Set aside.
Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled pasta, drained tuna, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, black olives, and parsley.
Add Dressing: Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss gently until everything is well coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
Chill and Serve: For best results, cover and refrigerate the salad for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
