I love pasta salad and this is how I like it!!

I had this salad decades ago at a cookout and I have not made it any other way since.

I wanted to bring a brightly colored delicious dish to a friends bbq. This Pasta was a hit with everyone including the kids aging from 18mo-11yrs!

I worked at a coffee shop and this was a salad we served along with our sandwiches. Cool, refreshing, and delicious!

I made this for decades with Poppyseed dressing. It is still one of best salads ever with that. But then I discovered Braswell's Vidalia Onion Peppercorn dressing. There are other brands, but, Oh, mercy.The other secret is tiny ingredients. Use smallest shells, smallest peas, finest chopped ham. Chop your peppers finely and celery finely. This is the first time I have added celery- an extra crunch.

Best to serve cold which makes it a great option for potlucks or lunch. Great side dish or game day option too!

Been making this for some time now...always a favorite...Delicious 😋 #pasta #salad #Italian #Greek #summertime

#budgetbasics Had so much of left over in the fridge. Thought I just mashed it up for a nice / healthy lunch 😄

This simple pasta salad is perfect for lunch or as a barbecue side dish. To make it vegan, omit the feta.Each serving provides 567 kcal, 22g protein, 70g carbohydrates (of which 10g sugars), 20g fat (of which 9g saturates), 7g fibre and 2.5g salt.

Got this recipe from my mother in law, my husband and I loved it. The only thing I do differently, I add salami and serve it warm. Quick and easy week might meal.
