Ingredients
- 16 ounces shell macaroni noodles
- 2 (7 ounce cans) tuna drained
- ¼ cup celery diced
- ¼ cup red onion diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill diced
Instructions
- Bring a medium size pot of water to boil over medium heat and cook noodles according to directions. Once noodles are cooked, strain and transfer to a large bowl. Set aside.
- To the noodles add the tuna, diced celery, diced red onion, and frozen peas. Gently stir to combine.
- In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, pepper and diced dill.
- Pour half of the dressing into the tuna pasta salad. Stir to coat. Cover and store the pasta salad and the remaining dressing. Let the salad chill for at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to serve, stir in the remaining dressing.
Notes
- Store: Keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
- Tuna: Use your preferred brand of canned tuna and drain the liquid from it prior to use.
- Pasta Noodles: Shell pasta noodles are a great option thanks to their ability to hold onto the dressing in the nooks and crannies. Substitute with bowties, penne, or rotini if preferred.
- Mayonnaise & Sour Cream: Use these to create a nice creamy dressing to perfectly coat the pasta salad. This recipe makes just the right amount of dressing that your salad won't be dry and it won't be too much to be overpowering. If needed you can swap the sour cream for a plain greek yogurt. Use a mayo of your choice.
- Filling options: This recipe uses red onion, celery, and green peas as filling options. Other ideas include bell pepper, green onion, hard-boiled egg, corn, black beans, tomato, and olives.
