    I have yet to find a recipe for my fave pasta salad.. if anyone knows, you can get it at walmart and some other delis, at walmart, it has noodles like kraft mac & cheese w/ a sour cream dressing... (I think it's called great mac and cheese salad) OMG I love that stuff and lately they've been out of it

    I make one with bow tie pasta, pepperoni, cheddar cheese cubed, marinated artichoke hearts, black olives, onion, cucumber, green bell pepper and grape tomatoes, then add a tad bit of mayo and Italian salad dressing, plus the marinate from the artichokes oh and I add a can of sweet peas as well.

    If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.

    I make mine with lots of fresh veggies. Cook your pasta until just done, but a little more cooked than al dente. Cool well. (I cool mine by adding it to ice water right and away and draining well.) I add chopped: celery, onion, cucumber, broccoli & cauliflower. You can add as much or as little veggies as you like. I add italian dressing..not light or fat-free. Add to taste. Salt & pepper to taste. If you don't like the italian dressing, add mayo or Miracle Whip to taste instead.

    I make homemade pasta salad often. My recipe is as follows:

    Spiral or bowtie pasta
    Broccoli
    Tomatoes
    Green peppers
    Onions
    Carrots
    Italian dressing
    McCormick's Salad Supreme
    Parmesan cheese
    Cook the pasta to desired texture. Combine the items and season to taste.

    This is pretty much what I do too. You can add all sorts of stuff to it, cheese, pepperoni or summer sausage, ham chunks, cucumbers.
    This is what I make for the 4th of July picnic!
