Notes

How to store leftover tuna pasta salad?

You can store this pasta salad in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.

Depending on if you prefer your pasta salad cold or room temperature, pull it out a little before serving to allow it to get back to room temperature.

My pasta is dry, how can I fix that and keep it moist?

If you're struggling with your pasta being dry after you store it in the fridge, it's probably because it absorbed the sauce as it sat. You add a few more tablespoons of greek yogurt and mayonnaise and toss before serving again.
