Mystery Pasta Salad

I first tried this salad a grocery store deli. I liked it so much that I requested the recipe from them but they wouldn't share it. I tinkered with it for many tries and finally came up with a very close match. It is a little different because it has quite a bit of pepper in it. Try it at least once the way it is posted I bet you will like it as much as I do. It is a touch spicy but you can't really tell why, thats why I call it Mystery Pasta Salad. Show more
