LORI'S FAVORITE PASTA SALAD



Lori's Favorite Pasta Salad image

I had a salad similar to this at my favorite restaurant and loved it, I played around with ingredients until I got the taste I wanted. I've added chopped grilled chicken or chopped salami, but I prefer it without any meat.

Once again my husband combined a couple of recipes to come up with this wonderful salad. Whenever the volunteer fire department has an event, my husband is always asked to bring the macaroni salad. I have to admit it, this salad is better than my mom's or even my grandma's! You have to try this!
