Cooking and Mixing
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the whole wheat rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Once done, drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it under cold water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooled rotini pasta with chopped cucumber, celery, red bell pepper, cooked frozen peas, and canned flaked tuna. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste into the dressing until all spices are well incorporated.
- Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together until each piece is well-coated with the creamy dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for 20-30 minutes.
- Once chilled, give the salad a gentle toss before serving and garnish with extra fresh dill or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
