Instruction
- 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.
