Instructions

Collect all the necessary ingredients.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly tender, approximately 10 minutes. Introduce the peas and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Drain the pasta and peas thoroughly, then quickly chill by rinsing under cold water.
Transfer the cooled pasta and peas into a large mixing bowl. Gently fold in the tuna, celery, green onion, fresh dill, and grated carrot until everything is evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour this creamy dressing over the tuna pasta mixture and stir gently until everything is well combined and coated.
