1 pound Farfalle pasta or your favourite variety (Penne or Fusilli also work great)
1 red onion diced
4 ribs celery diced
1 cup frozen peas thawed
3 cans chunk tuna packed in water, drained
fresh chopped parsley (optional, for serving)

Start by placing a large pot of water to boil and add about 1 tablespoon or more of salt. This will ensure the pasta has lots of flavour.
Mix the dressing ingredients together in a bowl or a mason jar and whisk together well until smooth and combined. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to use.
Cook the pasta according to the package directions to al dente, and don't over-cook.
Add the cooked pasta to a large bowl, pour the dressing over and stir very well to coat.
Add the diced onion and celery, the frozen peas, and the chunks of tuna and toss well.
Add some fresh chopped parsley to the top (or more dill, if you prefer), and serve.

This Tuna Pasta Salad keeps for up to 3 days in the fridge. Feel free to assemble the salad a day ahead of serving.
