Ingredients
- 1 lb mini bowtie pasta
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup red onion diced, or white onion
- 3/4 cup dill pickle diced
- 10 oz tuna (two 5 oz cans) drained, I used albacore tuna packed in water
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 cup real mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Salt the water and cook pasta until al dente. In the last 30 seconds, stir in frozen peas and cook for 30 seconds.
- Drain pasta and peas. If you want room-temperature pasta salad, don't rinse. If you want cold pasta salad, rinse with cold water.
- In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk lemon, mayonnaise, dill, salt and pepper until well combined.
- Add pasta, peas, onion, pickle and tuna and toss until everything is evenly coated in sauce.
- Serve or refrigerate covered until ready to serve.
