40 Reviews of Simple Tuna Pasta Salad

This was a yummy salad! It was creamy and delicious, and the peas added just the right flavor. I originally gave this recipe 4 stars, but I just had the leftovers for lunch and added some miracle whip instead of mayo, and it was even better! I guess the miracle whip added the extra zip I was looking for. I'm upping my rating! I'll definitely be making this again. Thanks, PanNan!

    This is a fantastic base for a Tuna salad! I never use peas (personal aversion to them), but I do add a red pepper finely chopped and some hard cooked egg. I also make sure I finely mince the onion so it does not over power. I add a generous dash of garlic powder and some dillweed to the finish product. Thanks for getting down on paper what I never quite could! This is a classic for sure.

    Simple and delicious. I love this version of the popular "potluck" tuna salad-one. The peas are a nice touch. I used a lot of pepper and the Miracle Whip definitely makes the difference here for me, I think. Thanks.

    Had a craving for tuna and wanted something easy that I could take to work for lunch. This really fit the bill. I added a bit of diced red onion. Super!

    I can't believe I forgot to post my review of this wonderful salad. I took it to an office dinner and when I went back to get my dish I was told to "leave the dish, we'll see you get it back clean". Everyone loved it and I did mix half mayo and half miracle whip for the dressing and it was just right! I also used bow tie pasta and it made the dish even more special. Thanks for the recipe.

    Really enjoyed this easy tuna pasta. I like the peas in it, and I used light mayo, very good. Would make a nice lunch time meal.

    Wonderful. I made it and took it to work for lunch. I added diced cheddar cheese just because I love it! It was great! Thanks for the recipe!

    This was great! I used regular mayo, and it was very tasty. Next time I would like to try Miracle Whip--I think it would be even better.
