My Family's Tuna-Pasta Salad image

My mom used to make this for us when we were kids and Dad was out of town. (He was a meat and potato guy). I've adjusted it a little to fit our taste. Cook time includes chill time.

I'm not a big fan of tuna salad, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The avocado and lemon-dill dressing add a lot of flavor and make it really refreshing. I will definitely be making this again.
