What are some ingredients in Pasta Salad?

Answer 1

My mom has always made macaroni salad this way:

1/2 box elbows, cooked, drained, and rinsed under cold water
1 can tuna fish drained
1/2 cup or more mayonaisse
frozen peas
1 small onion, chopped finely
cheddar cheese, cut up in cubes

It's an old worn out recipe I'm sure, but it's always good with hotdogs and hamburgers.

My uncle has a recipe using bow tie pasta, mayo and sour cream, crab leg pieces, dill, red pepper, celery, salt and pepper.

I like to make mine with bow tie pasta, sun dried tomatos, gorgonzola cheese, and olive oil.
