I got this great summertime recipe from my mother-in-law and just love it! You can add more/less of anything according to taste, this is just a basic guide. Even my friends who don't like pasta salad love this recipe. If you refrigerate overnight, you may want to add a little Miracle Whip to moisten it back up. Hope you enjoy!
