Pot-Luck Pasta Salad

I'm getting ready to make pasta salad for a pot-luck at work tomorrow. Mine's really good, although it's sort of traditional - shell pasta, red and green bell pepper brunoise, celery, celery seed, Miracle Whip, sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, cheddar cheese cubes.

Someone at work wanted olives. I don't care for olives, I think I'll take her some kalamatas on the side.

What do you put in your pasta salad?

I like to use bowtie and I add sundried tomatoes, red onion, artichoke hearts, and feta. For the dressing I do olive oil, balsalmic, s&p, and fresh basil if I have it. Mmmmm - I want some now!

Marsha,

Becky sez substitute Cardini's Caesar Salad dressing for the Miracle Whip.

I agree abandon the Miracle Whip.

Agree, lose the whip. We go with a red wine vin/olive oil in ours.

That sounds simple, classic, and tasty.

I agree abandon the Miracle Whip.

Lose the Whip....Lose the Whip....Lose the Whip....Come on everybody join in....Lose the Whip.

We also add small diced ham or salami to our pasta salads

Agree, lose the whip.

I am partial to Marsha's recipe myself, when I crave Pasta salad it is usually accompanied by some BBQ dish of some kind and I like the extra "zip" the whip gives

Whip-haters beware! Your moms are putting sugar in their mayo-based macaroni salad. My bowl was TOTALLY empty when I retrieved it.

Marsha, you know I've always liked you with your whip.

Don't forget the thigh high's

With jingle bell garters. Just to keep it Christmas-y.

TMI!!! :lol
