Tuna + Pickle Pasta Salad
Whether it's lunch time or snack time or you're off to a summer BBQ, this creamy, tangy, crunchy, dilly pasta salad is a total crowd pleaser that you'll keep going back to.
Ingredients
- 1 lb mini bowtie pasta
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup red onion diced or minced
- 3/4 cup dill pickles diced or minced
- 10 oz tuna drained (or sub shredded chicken)
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 cup mayo (I prefer Vegan Mayo from Thrive Market)
- 1 tbsp dried dill
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Dice or mince the red onion and pickles. I like to throw them in my Ninja chopper to save time.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water, and cook pasta until al dente.
- Right before the pasta is done cooking, stir in the frozen peas and cook for just 30 seconds or so.
- Drain pasta and peas. Rinse with cold water if you prefer cold pasta salad, or just set aside if you want it warm. You can serve it either way! I like it lukewarm, personally.
- Add cooked pasta and peas to a large bowl and stir in remaining ingredients (pickles, onion, mayo, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper) until the pasta is perfectly coated.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to serve. ENJOY warm or cold!
