Ingredients
- 8 oz Pasta
- 8 oz Albacore White Tuna
- ½ cup Cucumber Seeds Removed
- ½ cup Celery Diced

For The Dressing
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt

- 2 tablespoon Fresh Dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
- Cook the noodles in salted water according to the package directions, until they are al dente. Drain well. To quickly cool the pasta, stir in the frozen peas while the noodles are still hot. 8 oz Pasta 1 cup Frozen Peas
- In a large bowl, add the chopped onion, diced and cored cucumber, diced celery, peas, cooked pasta, drained tuna, fresh dill, salt, and pepper. ½ cup Sweet Onion ½ cup Cucumber ½ cup Celery 8 oz Albacore White Tuna 2 tbsp Fresh Dill 1 tsp Salt ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. 1 cup Greek Yogurt 2 tbsp Hot Sauce 1½ tbsp Lemon Juice
- Mix the pasta mixture and dressing, and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to help flavors meld together.
Notes
- Pasta Tip - Cook the pasta just until al dente, so it does not get mushy when mixed.
- Salt the Pasta Water - This enhances the flavor of the pasta.
- Seed the Cucumbers - I like to seed the cucumbers before dicing and adding to the salad to help keep moisture down.
- Adjust the sauce - If you prefer, you can use half mayonnaise and half Greek Yogurt if you like a little less tang.
