Tuna and Macaroni Salad

This tuna and macaroni salad is a family favorite throughout the year. I like to make this the night before, refrigerate, and let the flavors blend together. Serve over lettuce or as a side dish.

INGRIDIENT

1 (12 ounce) package bow-tie pasta

1 cup frozen peas

2 (6 ounce) cans flaked tuna, drained

1 cup diced celery

½ cup chopped green onions

⅓ cup chopped fresh dill

¼ cup grated carrot

1 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste

salt and ground black pepper to taste

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Add peas and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Drain pasta and peas and chill quickly by rinsing with cold water.

Step: 2

Transfer pasta and peas to a large bowl. Mix in tuna, celery, green onion, dill, and carrot until well blended.

Step: 3

Mix mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Blend into macaroni mixture.
