Bring a small pot of water to a boil with half the salt. Add the pasta and cook 1 to 2 minutes under the package time for al dente, usually 8 to 10 minutes. Bite a piece to check it is firm but cooked through. Drain and rinse under cold water until completely chilled.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, black pepper, the remaining salt, and the water until smooth and pourable.
Add the chilled pasta, drained tuna, celery, and red onion to the bowl with the dressing. Toss thoroughly until everything is well coated, adding another splash of water if it looks dry. Fold in the fresh parsley and serve.
