Description

Ingredients

• 12 oz. rotini or other small shell pasta noodles
• 2 – 5 oz. cans tuna in water, drained well
• 2 medium celery stalks, sliced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 15 oz. can sweet peas, well drained
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in the 12 oz of uncooked rotini noodles and allow them to boil for about 8-9 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water. {Do not over cook, otherwise the noodles will get mushy.} Once the noodles have cooled, place them into a large mixing bowl and add in the tuna, celery, red onion, peas, mayonnaise, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients, mixing well. Cover and place the salad in the fridge to cool for at least an hour, and to allow the flavors to mix. Serve Tuna Pasta Salad as an easy light lunch or dinner, or as a side dish, or take it to summer potluck.
