Made for your *Wk 13 Football Pool Win* , this M&C salad is full of flavor, texture & my fave ingredients. I have 2 mouths to feed here & 1 of them prefers potatoes to pasta, but will eat it w/me since I love it so much. That said ~ I made a 1/4 recipe of this & it made a lot! If this is meant to feed roughly 4-5, then they must be teenagers w/empty legs! I did have to use a med-size shell pasta & shredded cheddar because they were what I had. 1 of the things I esp like about this salad is that it is not swimming in mayo like so many of its genre. In fact, I found it a bit dry, in need of more mayo & also in need of a fair amt of S&P. BUT both mayo + the S&P are so much matters of pers pref that it works well to be able to adjust for them vs accept an excess. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. I liked it a lot. :-)
