1. To make the dressing, place all the ingredients except the oil in a jug and blend using a stick blender. Gradually add the avocado oil while blending until the dressing emulsifies and thickens. Set aside.

2. Heat the canola oil in a pan and fry the red pepper until slightly caramelised and softened. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute. Add the sweetcorn, chilli flakes and spicy seasoning. Fry for a further 5 minutes.

3. Combine the penne, tuna, dressing and fried vegetables. Place on a plate and top with the avocado, tomatoes, herbs and onion.
