Cook the pasta: Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook according to package instructions until al dente (slightly firm to the bite). Drain and rinse the pasta with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 2
Prepare the salad: In a bowl, combine the cooked pasta, flaked tuna, mayonnaise, yogurt (if using), celery, cucumber, and dill.
Step 3
Season and mix: Add salt and pepper to taste and gently toss everything together to combine.
Step 4
Serve: Divide the salad between a lunchbox or container and add any desired toppings like cherry tomatoes, sliced grapes, or shredded cheese.

Tips:

Add other kid-friendly ingredients like peas, diced carrots, or shredded chicken for more variety.
Step 10
Serve with crackers, fruit, or yogurt for a complete lunch.
