Cook the pasta. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Once it's done cooking, drain the hot water then rinse with cold water. Allow the cold water to drain well. Rinsing will stop the pasta from cooking further and reduce the stickiness of the noodles.
Make the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, relish, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper.
Assemble the salad. In large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, tuna, bell pepper, carrot, celery and red onion. Gently mix in the dressing until all ingredients are evenly coated. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator and eat within 4 days.
