This tuna pasta salad recipe is a family favorite throughout the year. I like to make this the night before, refrigerate, and let the flavors blend together. Serve it over lettuce or as a side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) package bow tie pasta
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 (6 ounce) cans flaked tuna, drained
- 1 cup diced celery
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
- ¼ cup grated carrot
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Add peas and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Drain pasta and peas and chill quickly by rinsing with cold water.
Step 2
Transfer pasta and peas to a large bowl. Mix in tuna, celery, green onion, dill, and carrot until well blended.
Step 3
Mix mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Blend into macaroni mixture.
Tips
You can use regular or light mayonnaise.
