Tuna Pasta Salad is a tasty side dish for summer! Rotini, veggies, and tuna are tossed in a creamy homemade dressing made of mayo, sour cream, and spices!
Cook noodles until al dente, according to package instructions. Add the peas to the pasta with 2 minutes left, then drain. Drain and rinse with cold water, set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, salt, and pepper.
Transfer the cooked pasta and peas to a large bowl and add the tuna, celery, onion, and bell pepper and toss to mix.
Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the pasta mixture and toss to evenly coat.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with additional fresh ground black pepper if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container or in a bowl tightly covered with plastic wrap. It should stay good for 3-5 days.
