I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It worked perfectly, and it made the salad a lot healthier.

This tuna pea salad in shells recipe is a lifesaver! It's so quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can use canned tuna, which is always in my pantry, and frozen peas, which makes it a very budget-friendly meal.
