- Tuna pasta salad is made with elbow noodles, peas, tuna, celery, red onion, mayonnaise, and Greek yogurt. It's an easy, healthy, dish that is family-friendly and great for meal prep. If you want to add more protein or fiber to this recipe, use a whole grain or bean pasta.
How do you keep tuna pasta salad moist?
When kept in the fridge, the pasta will begin to absorb the mayonnaise and yogurt which can make the salad taste less creamy. To keep the salad nice and moist, add an extra dollop of yogurt (or mayo) right before serving.

I've made this for 50 years, but with mayo only..My mother made it too. To up the protein you can add some hard boiled eggs to it, or serve some deviled eggs on the side. My family loves it.
Love the idea of adding eggs to this. Sounds SO good.
My mom also added hard boiled eggs to the salad. Havent made this salad in a long o time,
I eat mayo
Lol, its up to you mayo or miracle whip, its just what you like, no right or wrong.
@@cjmiller2037 My point about the 'mayo only' was that I didn't use any Greek yogurt in it...just the mayo.
I'm 23 and live alone but really want to start cooking more often rather than buying processed/frozen foods and you seriously give me so much motivation! I can't wait to try this out
For those of you that don’t like celery (or your family doesn’t), I subbed nice ripe tomatoes for the celery and it was delicious! Also I used chickpea pasta, because the flavors in here are bold enough that you don’t even notice the “different” taste of the pasta so you get some bonus protein! Also another tip... my husband won’t eat ANYTHING if it has crunchy raw onion in it, so I put mine in a glass dish with some avacado oil and microwave it for about 2 min till that crunch is gone... then add to the bowl...
Hi, Thank you for the recipe. My kids called our version of this salad: "kitchen sink salad," as in: " everything but the kitchen sink...!!" Whenever I made this salad, one of the kids would wander in the kitchen & offer a suggestion: " Mom, can you put some broccoli in there?" Then another would pass by & say: "Hey, some little cut-up pieces of cheese would be good." My daughter wanted grated carrots in it! It's a good thing I ran out of Kids, before I ran out room in the salad bowl!! It's So delicious every time, though, & they all feel like they participated in the meal! I even added a little bit of Ranch salad dressing for an added zing & it was great! (I did draw the line @ the suggestion of Fritos, though, even though I bet it would be good!) It's Delicious, no matter What we've added, over the years! Just have fun with it! God Bless to everyone...
I learned many decades ago to combine all the dressing ingredients in a separate bowl, THEN put them into the pasta salad---after having had a rather disastrous experience (at the age of eight, when I was first learning to cook) with clumps of mayo and sour cream in some parts, and dry ingredients in other parts. Dad showed me how to do it right, and ever since, I've always come out with a good, well-dressed pasta dish 🙂.
Made this for lunch today! It’s currently in my fridge chilling! Can’t wait to dig in ❤️
Just the recipe I was looking for. Thank you! I truly love the bloopers.
Great video i made this and was shocked at how easy and delicious it was, after trying it however i was missing something so i added lemon juice for a kick and i love it even more, could try it with hot sauce too. Big thanks from Croatia.
The outtakes made this video even more relatable and appreciated.
Let's keep working with those pantry staples to make some simple, clean, and delicious meals! This recipe has been in my family for years and I'm happy to be sharing an updated video with you all. Enjoy!
I made tonight with the mayonnaise and your other ingredients list also added lots other veggies ( shredded zucchini, cucumbers, corn, lil shredded cheddar cheese .... it was good but was on bland side . I still love it because it’s so healthy . Just needs xs a pop somewhere
margaret mirenda I added red bell pepper for color. Bell peppers are not as watery.
Great video, quick to the point, excellent! Love your eyebrows! Ty
ugh, this looks so simple and delicious! gonna give it a try tomorrow , thank you x
This is what my boys request every Saturday. Without fail! ☺️
That's fantastic. It's a great family recipe.
I'm Diabetic, and that advice you gave in the beginning about cooking your pasta al dente was really helpful. I never knew this. Thanks
This is so good! Loved it! Thank you for sharing again!
I honestly love your vibe and energy. Nice and simple recipe, thank you so much.
My Mother-in-law use these this for me all the time and I loved it
then and still do 45 years later.
I can't eat raw onions anymore, which I miss, but substitute tomatoes with mine now!
I love it. . tried new fancy recipes
and came back to this wonderful old favorite!
So so good! Great recipe especially for grown sons!!! We put it on tostadas from store and they were delish! I did all Mayo, so not quite as healthy but so good and easy. This recipe is a keeper!
You’re super informative! I love all the tips and I will forever make my pasta slightly aldente now. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this recipe. It was just what I was looking for as easy meal prep
My husband loves this recipe! Thank you for sharing!
Love it! I tried your recipe with sliced olives, corn, and mini mozzarella pearls. Thanks!!
Love this salad! Thanks Dani!
This is my favorite summer salad from my childhood! My mom never put a lot of mayo, in fact she used low fat mayo also. I still make it every now and then with protein pasta, Greek yogurt and eat it for my lunches. You can even put a spin on it with canned chicken breast and then add spices like chili and cumin, a little chili in adobo to make a Southwest pasta salad. Super yummy!
That sounds so good! thanks for sharing.
A classic from my childhood as well I make this still practically every other month I use pasta shells
Just made this. It’s absolutely the best tuna and pasta recipe.
I literally made this last week for my meal prep. It's perfect this time of the year and I had all the ingredients on hand.
That's so awesome! Love that
I tried it and love it you are right the Greek yogurt adds so much more
Yum. Yum. I've already made this a couple of times. Love it.
Looks really good! We never tried to directly add frozen peas in a pasta salad before. Looking fwd to trying this out! Thank you Dani!
Omg! Your my health life saver. I'm on a journey of being healthy. I've completed two of your recipes, and they were delicious. Thanks so much💞
It's my pleasure!! Enjoy this one.
Thank you for sharing, cannot wait to try this! 😊
I told a friend about your channel and it said it may have changed his life! Thanks for all the positivity now and over the years!
Awe, thank you so much!
I actually made this today, but with no peas and no Greek yogurt. It’s super delicious!! 😍😍😍
This pasta is one of my favorite

So good! I also add chopped olives and dill pickles (I dice them) to mine. Too delish! Nice video - thanks!
I was a bit skeptical because of the simplicity of the ingredients, but damn, this was a very good salad. Definitely my new favourite.
Love your recipes and so appreciate the fact that you tie your long hair back when cooking in the kitchen. So many others leave their long hair hanging down in the food. Ugh!!! They think they are movie stars! Very unsanitary but they could care less. Thank you!!!!❤
I love the look of this video! The colors you’re wearing are lovely with the kitchen background.
Looks delicious, I am defnitely going to try it. Thx

Mil gracias por compartir y mil gracias por ponerlo en Español. Se ve riquísima!!! 💕😋
Made it and it was great!
Thanks for the recipe 👍🏽
Hello,
I wasn't sure of whether the recipe called for 3 cups of dry pasta or 3 cups of cooked pasta. I made it with 3 cups of dry pasta and the result was excellent. I made exactly according to the recipe, and let it mature in the refrigerator until the next day. It was a bit dry so I added another tablespoon of mayonnaise, and the salad was perfect. This could be because the brand of sour cream I have available to me is very thick. Much thicker than mayo or, for example, Greek style yogurt.
Thank you for the excellent recipe.
I did it yesterday for my dinner it's absolutely delicious 😋
I've tried this for lunch today, though without the peas and the yogurt. It was delicious! Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Ughhh this looks so freaking delicious
Hey I recently discovered your channel and I am simply in love your amazing recipes.
Can’t wait to try this!
So glad to hear that. Enjoy it.
Definitely delicious & simple! Great tip about the red wine vinegar; that smallest amount of acidity really adds a lift/balance/zing to so many things (Oh look, that rhymes ☺️)
Thanks as always for your enthusiasm, Dani
My mommy made it different, and I'd have to try it your way to decide whose is better.
But the way she taught me is this:
Shell pasta, not small or large. Medium size.
Then celery yes, but also sliced radish and carrot strips with the peeler.
That combo is absolutely phenomenal.
I imagine the peas stand in for the carrot and the onion for the radish.
Just mayo salt and pepper. Someone mentioned lemon, which makes a lot of sense and would probably be what the red wine is for in yours.
Also bay seasoning mentioned somewhere also sounds appropriate. Definitely going to make this rendition asap, only with our usual veg combo.
Can't wait!
This is perfect timing, I was going to make tuna salad this weekend!
Wise minds ;)
Please keep it going Dani. Still remember the 1950's style kitchen you had with "Coffee" sign above the stove, where I learned to make diced chicken and broccoli in a steamer. Your recipes have always been healthy and easy to follow, and I can't ask for much more than that.
That is so amazing!! THANK YOU for sticking with me all of these years.
@@CleanandDeliciousDani You got it 👍
Made this today and it was SOOOOO GOOD!! Had this growing up as well except we added boiled eggs. I may do that next time. Either way fixed my craving and was so yummy.
Yum! I will give this a try!
So glad to gear that. Enjoy it.
Pasta, mayo, peas, chopped boiled egg, tuna. My mom's first American recipe (Italian immigrant.) The whole family loves it.
Looks really delicious a mouthwatering recipe! 😊❤
Clean and delicious, definiteley!
Yum, yum. Thanks a lot. 😊
Just made it today! Next time I’ll cut back on the onion, maybe just half, because it overpowers the other ingredients! I had to use double the peas and more Mayo! Thank you for sharing.
I just made it. You were right School Nation point it is delicious and Weight Watcher friendly👍🏽🙋🏽♀️
