Add 1 can of drained tuna, 1 cup of corn kernels, 2 diced celery stalks, and 4 thinly sliced scallions to a large mixing bowl with the pasta and dressing mixture. Gently toss until all the ingredients are coated well with the dressing.Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. For a creamier texture, add more sour cream or mayo. Refrigerate for at least one hour to let the flavors meld. Before serving, stir the pasta salad well and taste for seasoning. Add more salt as needed and garnish with chopped fresh herbs, if desired.
