Creamy Tuna Pasta Salad

Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 10 minutes for al dente. For that perfect bite, the pasta should be soft but still firm—it’ll continue to cook slightly as it cools. Pro tip: Place a wooden spoon across the top of the pot to keep the water from boiling over. Once the pasta is ready, drain it, rinse under cool water, and set it aside to cool completely.

Make the Dressing: While the pasta is cooking, grab a large mixing bowl and start on the dressing. Add FUD® Crema Natural, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy—you’re looking for that perfect pale yellow color.

Combine Everything: Once the pasta has cooled, add it to the bowl with the dressing and stir well to ensure every piece is coated. Next, fold in the tuna, peas, celery, and red onion. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, then give everything a final mix to bring it all together. Optional Spice: If you’re craving a little kick, drizzle the salad with chili flakes for a spicy punch—it’s the perfect contrast to the creamy dressing.

Serve or Chill: For a cooler, more refreshing pasta salad, cover the bowl and let it chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes before serving. This step also lets the flavors come together beautifully. Serve it up as a light lunch, dinner, or side dish, and watch it disappear!
