  1. Wonderful pasta salad! My family doesn't care for tuna so I used grilled chicken breast chopped very fine. I plan on trying it sometime using chopped hard boiled eggs instead of meat. I am serving this at garden club next month, can't wait to see what they say!
     
  2. Hot Summers day here today so we had friends over for a barbecue. I made this salad along with a couple of other Zaar favourites, and this one proved very popular. I used red onion and spiral pasta. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. A little too dry for our tastes. I changed the celery seeds to 2t because I'm sure 2T would be too strong. I also added mustard. Thanks for sharing.
     
  4. I loved the flavor with the vinegar in this salad. I ommitted the pepper and celery and onion sometimes and add crabmeat and olives.
     
  5. Very tasty salad. I did use only 1 tsp of celery seed, but added more fresh dill as well as more salt and pepper. Thanks for sharing.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Update: My mother, BoxO'Wine passed away on April 23, 2009 after a 2 year battle with pancreatic cancer. She was a wonderful cook and is greatly missed. I am the DD that she has mentioned here quite frequently and have decided to continue her account. I also use RecipeZaar quite frequently as I learned about it from her. I strive to make her recipes; however, they will never be the same. I am also leaving all her own biographical information in here that she had. Genuine Jersey Girl here. Lived here all my life with the exception of a short stint in the Bay Area/San Francisco. Married to the same guy for over 40 years. We have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My son lives in Georgia (he talks funny) and my two daughters live near me in New Jersey. I am a retired politician, but I still have a real job. Looking forward to full retirement in about 2 yrs or so and if my children don't force me into the "home" I will be spending my social security checks in Atlantic City casinos. I have chemically enhanced blonde hair which is currently spiked to match my weird sense of humor and beverage du jour. Obviously I am a wino. White please, preferably chardonnay.
