We really liked this pasta salad, which was colorful and tasty. I added all the optional ingredients, as well as some pepperoni, which added a little zip. I used a rotini for the pasta, which I thought would hold the dressing nicely, and it did. This is a great side dish or even a portable lunch. Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring PAC 2013.

Made this for Thanksgiving this year and everyone loved it. I used bowtie pasta, but will use a smaller type next time. I was worried about the Miracle Whip and Italian dressing mixture. But then I realized it was the same thing as a creamy Italian dressing. Silly me! Made for New Kids on the Block Tag Game 2012
