We teamed a pasta salad with a tuna salad to come up with this dish that's summertime-perfect and very budget-friendly. Our Tuna Twist is a new take on an old recipe that's great for a light summer dinner. Or you can take this tuna pasta salad to a picnic or potluck (where it'll be the first thing to disappear!).
What You'll Need
- 1/2 pound twist pasta
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (12-ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen peas, thawed
- 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
What to Do
- Cook pasta according to package directions; drain, rinse, and drain again.
- In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, and pepper; mix well. Add pasta and remaining ingredients. Toss until well combined; cover, and chill at least 2 hours before serving.

We have a lot of pasta salad and macaroni salad at my house during the summer, so I am happy I found a recipe that also adds tuna. This recipe will be a great side dish with burgers on the grill and baked beans. I will leave out the onion, but I am intrigued by adding dill.

I love pasta salad and I love tuna salad, so this is right up my alley. Like others have mentioned, this one really has a spring-y taste to it, thanks to the dill. I also really like the peas! Gives it just a little bitty amount of sweetness. :)

The dill gives this salad a lighter, fresher taste. A very good summertime dish.

2 c. of mayonnaise seems like a lot of dressing. Could you check if that's the correct amount?

I do not know if this is the right amount or not.. You could sub 1 cup Greek yogurt for the mayo. Also you could use fat free mayo
