Ingredients For best tuna pasta salad

  • 12 oz
    mini pasta shells
  • 12 oz
    chunk albacore tuna, drained
  • 1 c
    diced celery
  • 1 c
    diced green bell pepper (or 1 c frozen, thawed peas)

How To Make best tuna pasta salad

  • 1
    Cook your pasta al dente while prepping the rest of your ingredients. Drain. No need to cool before mixing in your ingredients, either.
  • 2
    Mix all the ingredients in the biggest bowl you can find, including the salt and pepper to taste. Then add some more pepper and mix again!
  • 3
    Chill at least 2 hours, but overnight is best. Because the dressings tend to tighten up a bit as the salad sits, you may need to add a bit more mayo/Miracle Whip just before serving. Enjoy!
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
