Ingredients
5
ounces
solid albacore tuna packed in water
do NOT drain
1
cup
mayonnaise
(reduced fat is fine)
1/2
teaspoon
yellow mustard
1/2
teaspoon
garlic salt
1/2
teaspoon
onion powder
1
teaspoon
chopped fresh dill
(or substitute 1/2 teaspoon dried dill)
1
pound
macaroni noodles
cooked al dente, drained, and rinsed in cold water
1
cup
frozen baby peas
1/2
cup
dill pickles
diced
1
cup
colby jack cheese
diced into small chunks
Instructions
Combine the tuna, mayo, mustard, garlic salt, onion powder, and dill in a large bowl. Mix until combined.
Gently stir in the pasta, baby peas, pickles, and cheese. Toss well to coat in the sauce.
Chill for at least an hour, and serve with your favorite summer bbq foods!
Recipe Notes
Leaving the tuna undrained helps thin out the sauce a bit and adds some extra tuna flavor into the dish.
If you add the peas in frozen, it’ll help keep the dish cold a bit longer. Frozen peas will also chill the salad faster.
