I've been meaning to review this for more than a year..... People love this pasta salad. the thing that makes it different is that it doesn't use "itlalian dressing"(those are good too). One note: if making a day ahead, don't put in the hard boiled eggs until the morning of the party, or the yolks will completely disintegrate. I have subbed red sweet pepper for the pimento- subbed ready made relish for the chopped pickle every time, and used just a touch of garlic powder in lieu of the real thing. Still turned out great. you'll get lots of compliments with this one. -
This was served with our Easter meal and I used some of the tips the other reviewer placed. Excellant and superb. Wonderful taste to this salad, thanks Evelyn :) -
My Gosh, Girl, this is a great little pasta salad! I used bread and butter pickles, chopped, the juice of the pickles, and omitted the green pepper. Came out lovely! Went really well with bar-b-q'd ribs! Thanks for sharing, evelyn, I'll be making this often. Laudee

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
