It was ok, but i'm still searching for a perfect tuna pasta salad. This one tastes too much of mustard for me, but i still didn't have left overs.

Very good. Added extra tuna and chopped celery as other reviewers did. Served it over a thick slice of a home grown tomato and "Oh Boy" it was great. Hubby said "This is a keeper". Thanks for a great recipe.

This is one of my favorite take to work salads. I sometimes substitute peas for carrots and add some Italian dressing.

modified to lighten the calories: rotini wheat pasta, low-fat miracle whip, and skim milk. I also use dijon mustard instead of yellow.

Great tuna salad. However, I tripled the amt of tuna and decreased the amt of milk to 2 tablespoons. The fact that it's a do-ahead makes it even better.

Awesome recipe. Nice and tangy and fresh tasting. I added celery for crunch and used dijon mustard instead of yellow. Thanks for sharing!

when I have leftover pasta in the fridge I am able to use it up with recipes like this. This is delicious and inexpensive.
