Tuna Pasta Salad

This is a very yummy and super easy pasta salad that I love to make as a side dish.  Jeff loves it as a side to a burger, or pretty much anything!

Ingredients:
2 Celery sticks, chopped
1 can tuna
1 cup frozen peas
2 cups sea-shell pasta noodles
1/2 cup mayonnaise (or substitute 1/4 cup plain yogurt and 1/4 mayo)
1 tsp dill weed
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 small onion, chopped

Directions:
Cook noodles in a medium pot with boiling salted water until al dente. Drain. 
In a large bowl place the sliced onions, celery, peas, drained pasta, and drained tuna.

In a separate bowl, mix the mayo and dill weed. Stir into pasta mixture. Refrigerate 30 min. before serving.

*Fun Facts
Tuna fish is a great source of protein and contains omega 3 fatty acids that can help fight heart disease!
