Tuna Macaroni Salad

You can easily make a pasta salad using common ingredients that you likely already have at home. It's a great dish to take to a potluck! Just make sure that you add the peas to the pasta just before the pasta is finished cooking; this way, they keep their bright green color and are tender, not crunchy.
