One thing that I like about this pasta salad is that you can get rid of any veggies that you might have in the fridge that need to be used up or thrown out. The list of veggies in the ingredients you do not have to follow, but put in the veggies that you and your family like. I also use this recipe to get rid of deli meats that I might have, perfect for that too! You can really make this pasta salad with your own touch, which I am all about. I like to use these great recipes as a base and throw in a little extra.
