Ok, I wasn't sure about this salad when I first tasted it after it was first tossed together. All I could taste was the cider vinegar. But I put it in the fridge overnight and the next day all the flavors had melded and I could not taste the cider vinegar anymore and it was quite tasty! I really liked the addition of the pickle in there with the tuna. I have never added that to a tuna pasta salad before and I was pleasantly surprised. All I had was dill relish as well, so I put in one heaping tbsp of that in with about a tsp of sugar into the mayo mixture. I would also suggest making sure you use frozen peas. I had to use canned because that was all I had and I didn't like the look or flavor of the canned. I think the frozen would have tasted and looked much much better. I used regular mayo as I did not have light. This was a very good tuna pasta salad! And I am very picky about my tuna! Thanks for posting Nimz!

    this is a good pasta salad. I made this for DH's work and they devoured it. I like the fact that all the ingredients are in my pantry at any given moment for those last minutes ideas. Thank you for shoring your recipe.

    I love this! I love the crunch of the celery and the sweetness of the peas. I omitted onions. Sometimes I substitute diced sweet pickles for the relish and dill just for something different. Wonderful summer meal.
