A delightful and creamy tuna pasta salad with a twist, perfect for any occasion.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and let cool.
Rinse the pasta with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down quickly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped celery, and peas.
Ensure the tuna is well-drained to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Combine the pasta with the tuna mixture and dressing, stirring gently to coat evenly.
Fold the ingredients together gently to avoid breaking the pasta.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to keep the salad fresh while chilling.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
Fresh parsley or dill makes a great garnish for added flavor and color.
