  1. Made for Spring PAC 2013 - 1 of the best things about pasta salads is they easily allow for pers pref chgs, so I chg'd your recipe a bit but feel I kept the heart of it intact. Macaroni was used instead of rotini pasta because it was what I had on-hand. Crabmeat (imitation & real) are both surprisingly not to be found in Iceland, so I used Icelandic baby shrimp & added canned tuna after finding it a bit bland on a taste test. At that point, it was right where it needed to be for us. What I esp liked about this pasta satad was that it was not swimming in mayo as many are plus the crisp texture of the snow peas. Sweet red onion & halved black olives might also be good optional adds, my DH commented. We liked this a lot & it made a complete meal when combined w/homemade bread & fruit. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.
     
  2. DELICIOUS!!! Made this to take to the cliff at the ocean where we sit on beautiful days for lunch and this was perfect. I did use fresh dill and some lemon pepper but otherwise followed the instructions and this is one that I will put in my Favorites of 2012. Thank you for submitting.
