THREADGILL'S FRENCH QUARTER PASTA SALAD

Threadgill's French Quarter Pasta Salad image

This salad is great, and you mix it up a day ahead of serving. It is for a large crowd, but you could cut the recipe in half. Prep time includes 12 hours in the refrigerator. This is from "Threadgill's, The Cookbook" by Eddie Wilson. A landmark grill in Austin.
