1. Cook the pasta according to package directions.

2. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water until completely cooled.

3. In a large bowl combine the peas, bread and butter pickles, red bell pepper, celery, carrot, and onion.

4. Add the cooled pasta to the bowl along with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

5. Add the tuna and some or all of the olive oil from the cans depending on your taste preference.

6. Add the mayonnaise and white vinegar.

7. Stir everything together until the salad is evenly coated and well combined.

8. Refrigerate until ready to serve for best flavor.

Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes improves the flavor.

You can adjust the amount of tuna oil and mayonnaise to reach your preferred creaminess.

Whole grain pasta adds extra fiber but regular macaroni works just as well.
