Ingredients:

Serving

12 oz pasta shells or 12 oz macaroni, cooked and drained
12 oz canned chunk albacore tuna, drained
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup frozen green pea, thawed
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (this amount is an estimate, you'll need enough to make the salad creamy) or 1 1/2 cups miracle whip (this amount is an estimate, you'll need enough to make the salad creamy)
salt and pepper

Directions:

Combine the cooked and drained pasta with the drained tuna, chopped celery, peas, and mayonnaise, using only enough mayonnaise for the salad to be creamy.
(If it's made ahead, you may need more because the pasta will absorb the mayo.) Chill at least 1- 2 hours before serving.
