Ingredients

  • 1 pound box pasta
  • 1/2 cup frozen baby peas
  • 6 - 4.5 oz. cans water-packed tuna well drained
  • 1 ½ cups Hellman’s mayonnaise
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 3 large pickles chopped (or more to taste)
  • Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
  • Half a lemon

Instructions

  • Put large pot of water over high flame for cooking the pasta. While the water is coming to a boil, prepare the tuna mixture.
  • Cook baby peas in microwave until just done, about 3 minutes. Plunge into a bowl of ice water. Drain.
  • Flake tuna into large bowl. Mix with the mayonnaise, onions, pickles, and baby peas. Add 2-3 teaspoons Lawry Salt and a squeeze or two of lemon. Refrigerate mixture until pasta is ready.
  • When the water boils, throw in a handful of salt and add the pasta. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain.
  • Fill pasta pot with cold water, return pasta to pot, stir, drain, and repeat. Drain very well. Pasta should now be sufficiently cool to mix with tuna salad.
  • Mix and taste. The pasta tends to “drink” the dressing, so this is best eaten the same day, though the leftovers never go to waste in my home.
