  • Prepare the dressing in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Drain the pasta and run under a cold tap to help cool the pasta faster and transfer to an extra large bowl.
  • Finally, add the chopped celery, pepper, cucumber, chopped parsley, tinned sweetcorn (drained), tinned tuna (drained) and the mayonnaise dressing along with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well to combine.

Notes
