My Family's Tuna-Pasta Salad image

My mom used to make this for us when we were kids and Dad was out of town. (He was a meat and potato guy). I've adjusted it a little to fit our taste. Cook time includes chill time.

This is the worst tuna pasta salad I've ever had. The dressing is too sour and the tuna is dry.

This recipe is too complicated. I ended up just throwing all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing them together.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tuna pasta salad was too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tuna pasta salad turned out bland. I think I might have used too much mayonnaise.

This recipe is easy to follow and the results are delicious. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to the dressing.

I'm not usually a fan of tuna salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of the pasta and vegetables makes it much more flavorful and interesting.
