  2. Once it comes to a boil, add in the pasta, cook until al dente (check package instructions on the pasta you are using), then drain into a colander

  3. While the pasta is cooling, drain the cans of tuna into a fine sieve with a bowl underneath, gently flake the tuna, then add into a large bowl

  4. Add the mayonnaise over the tuna, along with the dijon mustard, chopped red onion, grated garlic, sliced celery, chopped dill pickels, lemon juice, and season with salt & pepper, mix together until well mixed

  5. Once the pasta is cool enough to handle, add it into the bowl with the tuna salad, mix together until well mixed
