A wonderful pasta salad that is definitely for adults too! I actually played around with the ingredient amounts, but I believe I remained faithful to the spirit of the recipe. I used 1 lb. of medium shell pasta (I just didn't think 1 cup would be enough). I used 8 oz. each of sharp cheddar and honey ham, and 4 oz. each of pepperoni and Genoa salami. For the dressing, I used 8 oz. of plain Greek yogurt and 4 oz. of horeseradish ranch dressing (after all, this was for adults) and doubled the vinegar and honey. Well, it turned out perfectly and, thankfully, it made a lot, because we ate it up like crazy! Thanks for sharing this great twist on pasta salad. Made for Tazzy's win in Football Pool 2013- Week 4.

This was simple. I can definitely see my kids enjoying it. My 10yr old is out of town, and my 2 yr old wasn't interested in dinner tonight! LOL I enjoyed the dressing. I plan to modify it for a coleslaw dressing in the future. This was my first time using yogurt in a sauce and I loved it. I stuck to the recipe except for adding chopped celery for crunch and I used rotini pasta because I like the Mulit-grain, and it doesn't come in shells. Thanks!
