I've made this for 50 years, but with mayo only..My mother made it too. To up the protein you can add some hard boiled eggs to it, or serve some deviled eggs on the side. My family loves it.
Let's keep working with those pantry staples to make some simple, clean, and delicious meals! This recipe has been in my family for years and I'm happy to be sharing an updated video with you all. Enjoy!
I made tonight with the mayonnaise and your other ingredients list also added lots other veggies ( shredded zucchini, cucumbers, corn, lil shredded cheddar cheese .... it was good but was on bland side . I still love it because it’s so healthy . Just needs xs a pop somewhere
I'm 23 and live alone but really want to start cooking more often rather than buying processed/frozen foods and you seriously give me so much motivation! I can't wait to try this out
Hi, Thank you for the recipe. My kids called our version of this salad: "kitchen sink salad," as in: " everything but the kitchen sink...!!" Whenever I made this salad, one of the kids would wander in the kitchen & offer a suggestion: " Mom, can you put some broccoli in there?" Then another would pass by & say: "Hey, some little cut-up pieces of cheese would be good." My daughter wanted grated carrots in it! It's a good thing I ran out of Kids, before I ran out room in the salad bowl!! It's So delicious every time, though, & they all feel like they participated in the meal! I even added a little bit of Ranch salad dressing for an added zing & it was great! (I did draw the line @ the suggestion of Fritos, though, even though I bet it would be good!) It's Delicious, no matter What we've added, over the years! Just have fun with it! God Bless to everyone...
For those of you that don’t like celery (or your family doesn’t), I subbed nice ripe tomatoes for the celery and it was delicious! Also I used chickpea pasta, because the flavors in here are bold enough that you don’t even notice the “different” taste of the pasta so you get some bonus protein! Also another tip... my husband won’t eat ANYTHING if it has crunchy raw onion in it, so I put mine in a glass dish with some avacado oil and microwave it for about 2 min till that crunch is gone... then add to the bowl...
Great video i made this and was shocked at how easy and delicious it was, after trying it however i was missing something so i added lemon juice for a kick and i love it even more, could try it with hot sauce too. Big thanks from Croatia.
I learned many decades ago to combine all the dressing ingredients in a separate bowl, THEN put them into the pasta salad---after having had a rather disastrous experience (at the age of eight, when I was first learning to cook) with clumps of mayo and sour cream in some parts, and dry ingredients in other parts. Dad showed me how to do it right, and ever since, I've always come out with a good, well-dressed pasta dish 🙂.
I use tuna that is pole caught by American fishermen in American waters. It's delicious and I know it's caught in clean water and im supporting American fishermen. I feel very good about it. I get it at Whole Foods.
You can eat peas straight out of the garden without cooking at all. We would pick peas for my Grandmother and then shell them on the porch. Just like a Norman Rockwell painting. Anyway, everyone would be eating the peas and Grandma had to make them stop so she would have enough for the meal. I didn't eat any because I am not a pea fan but when I make this dish I substitute baby lima beans.
Peas are delicious eaten that way---heat isn't always kind to vegetables---and when they're added to a pasta dish just after defrosting them, they're usually sweet and just plain MMMMM!!!
Please tell me more about tuna types and mercury. Now I'm freaked out. I thought light tuna was the best, now I don't know what to buy. My son eats tuna a lot and now I'm afraid I've been giving him bad stuff!
This is my favorite summer salad from my childhood! My mom never put a lot of mayo, in fact she used low fat mayo also. I still make it every now and then with protein pasta, Greek yogurt and eat it for my lunches. You can even put a spin on it with canned chicken breast and then add spices like chili and cumin, a little chili in adobo to make a Southwest pasta salad. Super yummy!
Ugh why is everything unhealthy delicious!?!? I always eat whole grain or chickpea pasta (lmao). But lets be honest people, while whole grain tastes good, when your craving something homestyle this just doesn't cut it lmao.
So so good! Great recipe especially for grown sons!!! We put it on tostadas from store and they were delish! I did all Mayo, so not quite as healthy but so good and easy. This recipe is a keeper!
Hello, I wasn't sure of whether the recipe called for 3 cups of dry pasta or 3 cups of cooked pasta. I made it with 3 cups of dry pasta and the result was excellent. I made exactly according to the recipe, and let it mature in the refrigerator until the next day. It was a bit dry so I added another tablespoon of mayonnaise, and the salad was perfect. This could be because the brand of sour cream I have available to me is very thick. Much thicker than mayo or, for example, Greek style yogurt. Thank you for the excellent recipe.
Oh my that looks delicious thanks for this salad recipe that's looks very healthy also.newfriendhere watching from Minnesota. Your presentation is excellent.
Good early morning I'm from Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸 im making this now to have for dinner tomorrow. I'm serving it over lettuce with tomato wedges from our garden. ❤ Thank you. I hope I can find your Facebook
Just put any veggies you want in it. I intend to put zucchini and or yellow squash in mine to change it up a little. (As soon as my squash plants start producing.)
Lady you have no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to good passes or bad pastas they are typically all the same your body you still going to turn them into glucose. Regardless of what they are essentially. Great video next
I'm skipping celery because I don't like it (or maybe I'll use some pickles instead) and replacing greek yogurt with mashed avocado because I don't have it and making it for lunch. Looks delicious! :)
Omg! So i made it today and sub’d the green peas for shredded carrots, red wine vinegar for apple cider Vinegar, and used vegan mayo. It was AMAZING! Thank you for this recipe! Also i used gluten free pasta! Ugh, delicious 😋
A very practical thing to do. I am not fond of Tuna In Water but I can see that it is nicely seasoned by the rest of the ingredients. It is bland otherwise. Thankyou.
I remember Tuna pasta salad. I didf not know that info on Aldante Pasta. I've always loved tyo cook mine like that. Your salad looks really good. Will have to make it sometime soon. I love classic dishes like that. And simple. ❤️ I could never be Vegan. 😁
I've made this for 50 years, but with mayo only..My mother made it too. To up the protein you can add some hard boiled eggs to it, or serve some deviled eggs on the side. My family loves it.
Love the idea of adding eggs to this. Sounds SO good.
My mom also added hard boiled eggs to the salad. Havent made this salad in a long o time,
I eat mayo
Lol, its up to you mayo or miracle whip, its just what you like, no right or wrong.
@@cjmiller2037 My point about the 'mayo only' was that I didn't use any Greek yogurt in it...just the mayo.

margaret mirenda I added red bell pepper for color. Bell peppers are not as watery.
Great video, quick to the point, excellent! Love your eyebrows! Ty
You remind me of Claire Dunphy from Modern Family!
Kinda!!
Does she? She always reminded me of Piper Chapman!
AikenBacon yes! Sooo much!

This is what my boys request every Saturday. Without fail! ☺️
That's fantastic. It's a great family recipe.
I was a bit skeptical because of the simplicity of the ingredients, but damn, this was a very good salad. Definitely my new favourite.
Great video i made this and was shocked at how easy and delicious it was, after trying it however i was missing something so i added lemon juice for a kick and i love it even more, could try it with hot sauce too. Big thanks from Croatia.
So good! I also add chopped olives and dill pickles (I dice them) to mine. Too delish! Nice video - thanks!
Made this for lunch today! It’s currently in my fridge chilling! Can’t wait to dig in ❤️
You can use mashed avocado instead of the dairy
Great tip! Thank you.
Perfect idea the avocado instead of diary! I love avocado!
I used avocado instead of mayonnaise.
But the avocado doesn't taste anywhere near like mayo. Are there spices or something to mush with the avacado to make it similar to mayo?
I learned many decades ago to combine all the dressing ingredients in a separate bowl, THEN put them into the pasta salad---after having had a rather disastrous experience (at the age of eight, when I was first learning to cook) with clumps of mayo and sour cream in some parts, and dry ingredients in other parts.

Oooh such a good lunch recipe!
I use tuna that is pole caught by American fishermen in American waters. It's delicious and I know it's caught in clean water and im supporting American fishermen. I feel very good about it. I get it at Whole Foods.
Does whole grain/wheat pasta or any other pasta aside from white pasta spike blood sugars?
Omg! Your my health life saver. I'm on a journey of being healthy. I've completed two of your recipes, and they were delicious. Thanks so much💞
It's my pleasure!! Enjoy this one.
ugh, this looks so simple and delicious! gonna give it a try tomorrow , thank you x
Oh, you can eat frozen peas after just defrosting them without cooking them? I didn't know that.
Yes! They are steamed before frozen :)
You can eat peas straight out of the garden without cooking at all. We would pick peas for my Grandmother and then shell them on the porch. Just like a Norman Rockwell painting.

Just the recipe I was looking for. Thank you! I truly love the bloopers.
Look great! I think that I am going to try this tomorrow that way I’ll have lunch for the next three days. I get the skip jack tuna at Trader Joe’s.
Perfect! Enjoy it.
Please tell me more about tuna types and mercury. Now I'm freaked out. I thought light tuna was the best, now I don't know what to buy. My son eats tuna a lot and now I'm afraid I've been giving him bad stuff!

All things in moderation! I try to take the labels off of food so I can enjoy all the things :)
Looks delicious. Can't wait to try. Would it work with canned salmon or canned chicken?
100% YES!
So so good! Great recipe especially for grown sons!!! We put it on tostadas from store and they were delish! I did all Mayo, so not quite as healthy but so good and easy. This recipe is a keeper!
Looks delicious! I always add a cucumber dice up to mine. I like the crunch. ☺
I sometimes add bean sprouts for the same reason. Have a great week ahead.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful hats off heaven on earth souls beautiful thanks a million from Kenya
I literally made this last week for my meal prep. It's perfect this time of the year and I had all the ingredients on hand.
That's so awesome! Love that

I use Italian Tuna in Olive oil, no Mayo....extra Olive Oil.
Love it! I tried your recipe with sliced olives, corn, and mini mozzarella pearls. Thanks!!
Made this for dinner tonight. It was so good! Can't wait for the leftover tomorrow afternoon.
If you can’t have red wine vinegar can you use apple Cidar vinegar?
Yes!
Looking yummy, going to get the ingredients!!! Thanks for the great recipe.
So glad you plan to try it. Enjoy!
You’re super informative! I love all the tips and I will forever make my pasta slightly aldente now. Thank you!
Can you use a mixture of olive oil and red wine vinegar, and omit mayonnaise ?
I bet that would work!
@@CleanandDeliciousDani Thanks 🤗👍
Oh my that looks delicious thanks for this salad recipe that's looks very healthy also.newfriendhere watching from Minnesota. Your presentation is excellent.
Welcome!! So glad to have you here.
This is so good! Loved it! Thank you for sharing again!
Omg you’re beautiful and amazing with this cooking stuff 💕
12 people don’t like good, clean and delicious recipes.
LOL! Right? ;)
OMG! I have got to check that audio typing before I pressed send!🤦🏽♀️
You were right. It's delicious and Weight Watcher friendly.👍🏽
I have been wanting to make a nice tuna salad without the extra mayo and this looks so healthy and good using yogurt. Thanks a bunch!
Anytime!! Enjoy it.
😘 is the one I sent to the house in a
We make this all the time. We grate the red onions and marinade them in the apple cider or red wine vinegar. Makes all the difference.
I also opt for yellow peppers and fresh tomatoes
I will give it a try, and I don't normally like tuna...................
I hope you like it! You can also sub salmon, chickpeas or tuna for the tuna.
Good early morning I'm from Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸 im making this now to have for dinner tomorrow. I'm serving it over lettuce with tomato wedges from our garden. ❤ Thank you. I hope I can find your Facebook
Tuna salad is very rich
Looks really good! We never tried to directly add frozen peas in a pasta salad before. Looking fwd to trying this out! Thank you Dani!
😋 Sure looks delicious and perfect for the summer! Thank you!
It's really good. Enjoy it.
Thank you so much for your simple recipes, they are life changing!
It's my pleasure. Thank YOU for watching.
I've tried this for lunch today, though without the peas and the yogurt. It was delicious! Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
It looks really good! I'd like to wrap a salad in lettuce while eating chilled wine!
That sounds lovely!
I told a friend about your channel and it said it may have changed his life! Thanks for all the positivity now and over the years!
Awe, thank you so much!
Omg I grow up eating this salad 😍
Such a great recipe
Me too!!! And Agreed!
It looks good but why are Americans using canned fish? They are not going to the fish market to buy it? Strange. Thank you🙏.
We started calling it Toodle Salad. Tuna + noodles = Toodle.
Perfect name! Love it.
Thank you so much for this recipie!!
Now i can cook for my family and they wil be very impressed
Needs color and a little bit of heat. PAPRIKA! Sweetness? Relish and tiny bits of apple. Craisins
Struggled for time watching this I wanted to cook it right away and feel like you was wasting time ..repeating and over talking .
Maybe next time x
I love this recipe! Looks really refreshing! By the way, Trader Joe's has Skipjack tuna.
Good to know, thanks for the tip!
Aldi has skipjack tuna 😀
What would be a good substitute veggie for the peas? Unfortunately it’s the one veggie in our household not liked 😂
You can skip it and try some fresh chopped spinach.
What about edamame?
@@sheilabeaulieu1107 Even better!
Just put any veggies you want in it. I intend to put zucchini and or yellow squash in mine to change it up a little. (As soon as my squash plants start producing.)
Someone above mentioned diced red or green pepper- that sounds yummy if your kids like it!
I honestly love your vibe and energy. Nice and simple recipe, thank you so much.
Yum. Yum. I've already made this a couple of times. Love it.
Lady you have no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to good passes or bad pastas they are typically all the same your body you still going to turn them into glucose. Regardless of what they are essentially. Great video next
Look at the color when buying pasta the whiter the less processed ,but searching the stores , you csn make yourself cheaper
Thank you for the tips ❤️😎
Anytime!! Enjoy.
My husband loves this recipe! Thank you for sharing!
Dani love your simple and delicious recipes stay safe🇨🇦
Thank you!
I'm skipping celery because I don't like it (or maybe I'll use some pickles instead) and replacing greek yogurt with mashed avocado because I don't have it and making it for lunch. Looks delicious! :)
Love how you are making this your own. A true home cook.... enjoy it.
Thank you so much for this recipe. It was just what I was looking for as easy meal prep
You could definitely make a bad pasta decision. It would be awful and weird with spaghetti pasta.
Omg! So i made it today and sub’d the green peas for shredded carrots, red wine vinegar for apple cider Vinegar, and used vegan mayo. It was AMAZING! Thank you for this recipe! Also i used gluten free pasta! Ugh, delicious 😋
It's my pleasure! Love how you made this your own.
This is perfect timing, I was going to make tuna salad this weekend!
Wise minds ;)
Made it and it was great!
I always love your recipes Dany, no joking they are so simple and delicious!!! 😋😋😋
Awe, thank you!!
A very practical thing to do. I am not fond of Tuna In Water but I can see that it is nicely seasoned by the rest of the ingredients. It is bland otherwise. Thankyou.
Yes! Enjoy it.
Why are you saying pasta like that. STOP. STOP!!!!!!!
Skip the tuna and skip jack , use sardines its at the top of the smash effect you know if if you know Smash
Looks yummy!😋Question-I don’t have frozen peas, can I use canned
instead, or would it be too mushy? Thx😊
Frozen definitely gave a better texture :)
I remember Tuna pasta salad. I didf not know that info on Aldante Pasta. I've always loved tyo cook mine like that. Your salad looks really good. Will have to make it sometime soon. I love classic dishes like that. And simple. ❤️ I could never be Vegan. 😁
LOL, I don't think I can be vegan either BUT I do like to eat lots of veggies!
I made this salad for lunch today and it was so yummy 👍
I’m a 13 year old boy I wanna start to learn to cook I’m definitely gonna give this a try thansk
Sorry maybe I missed it in the video but how much dry pasta are you using to get 3 cups of cooked pasta?
Six ounces :)
Thanks Dani 4 the healthy informative tip. I've never been an El Dente fan, will incorporate it occasionally...👍💕🤗💕👌
Anytime! Glad it was helpful.
HATE tuna! But this recipe made with canned chicken breast is fabulous!
yes! It's super versatile. Enjoy it.

Thank you Lori!
I usually go with half mayonnaise and half sour cream
I did it yesterday for my dinner it's absolutely delicious 😋
Adding cucumber and sweetcorn hits like crack
Hi Dani, are the frozen peas cooked ? Or do I just use the raw ones?
Definitely going to add this to one of my summer salads list👍
Great! It's a good one. Enjoy it.
Yum! I wanna add cucumber and to make it scream a tea spoon wasabi! X
Definitely gonna try it!! Thanks!
Awesome!! Enjoy it.
If your a little less health conscience you can also use a can of cream of you choose soup and maybe a hand full of you choose cheese.
Fun tip! Thanks for sharing.
YuM...not too sure of the red vinegar but i will try it. Thanks. its one of my go to comfort food
It just adds a little extra pop of flavor, so good!
Looks good. I may make this for my work lunches! Your lipstick color is pretty! 💕
Thank you! Enjoy it.
