I have a very tasty pasta salad recipe. I found it on someone else's computer web-site about 10 years ago. I have made it many times and get a lot of compliments on it. it goes like this: Ingredients: One 16-ounce package small shell pasta (or I have used broken up spaghetti) cooked, rinsed and drained. 8 ounces "Wishbone Italian dressing" or other Italian dressing. 2 medium cucumbers, chopped. 3 medium tomatoes, chopped. 2 small red onions or 1 large, chopped. 2 medium green peppers, chopped. 1 small can sliced ripe olives. 1/2 to 1 bottle McCormick salad supreme. Combine all Ingredients and marinate overnight. Or you can add sliced pepperoni or any other veggies if you like. It is very good!

Answer 6

You can make it with those. Cook salmon, defrost peppers. Cook pasta, stir peppers, sweetcorn and salmon into cooked pasta. Add mayo et voila!
You could add a teaspoon of mustard (wholegrain is best) or some honey to the mayo to give it a new flavour. You could add any salad (lettuce, cucumber, tomato, raddish etc).

My method is very easy, just boil you pasta with a bit of salt.
Drain the water when it is done, add in the mayo, mix it up and you are done. If you want you can add in some potato, carrot, peas, anything you like.
