I love this salad! I made it just this morning and it was scrumptious right away, but I have a feeling that it will improve even more after sitting in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors mesh. I made a half recipe, but made all of the dressing (using Miracle Whip...don't yell, please!) and the whole packet of dressing mix. I like my pasta salads pretty "wet". I also added the full cup of grapes, cut in half. This will be one that I make very, very often....easy, different, and absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing it with us.
