Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the dry whole wheat rotini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente.
Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down completely.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth.
Add the drained canned tuna to the bowl and flake it with a fork, mixing it into the dressing.
Fold in the cooled pasta, diced raw celery, and thawed frozen peas until everything is evenly coated.
Garnish with chopped raw parsley and divide the salad into three airtight containers for storage in the refrigerator.
