A delightful and creamy tuna pasta salad with a touch of freshness and crunch, perfect for any occasion.
Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente.
Adding salt to the boiling water enhances the pasta's flavor.
Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to cool it down.
Rinsing the pasta prevents it from sticking together.
Dice the celery and onion into small pieces.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even distribution.
In a large bowl, combine the pasta, tuna, celery, onion, and cheese.
Gently mix to avoid breaking the tuna chunks.
In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Ensure all ingredients are well coated for consistent flavor.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
A sprinkle of parsley or dill adds a fresh touch.
