Pasta Salad with Tuna and Peas

This tuna salad is not the typical one as it is full of flavor. It includes pasta, peas, celery, red onion, and tomatoes. The dressing is delicious and is made with a mix of mayonnaise and yogurt with a touch of balsamic vinegar. It’s a great salad to take to a picnic or for lunch at the office.
