Instructions
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking and cool the noodles. Set aside.

Add the drained tuna, celery, red onion, thawed peas, chopped dill pickles, and fresh parsley to the bowl. Gently mix until evenly combined.
Stir in the cooked and cooled egg noodles, ensuring they are well coated with the dressing and combined with the other ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a final stir and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve chilled.
