Delish! Needed a quick & easy recipe to take to the Quarterback Club picnic today (thanks for the advanced notice, my dear 11th grader!). Thanks for the good recipe!

Quick & good tasting. I can’t get my husband to eat peas for anything, so I just added tomatoes & olives. Perfect for a last minute picnic dish.

Perfectly perfect! I definitely adapted it, though, which is part of why I like this recipe so much. It’s a great base recipe that will stretch to accommodate whatever’s in your fridge at the moment, ha.

I used whole wheat rotini instead of macaroni…it’s what I had in the pantry! I added diced roasted red and yellow peppers and subbed cubed tofu for the hard-boiled egg.

I just spent about 15 minutes searching through pasta salad recipes on this site…and this one is pretty much exactly what I was hoping to find! Thank you for posting!

Yum! I love things like this that can be made ahead & stuck in the fridge for later.

I made a big bowl of this pasta salad and my husband loved it. I added celery, zucchini, red bell pepper and half a dozen eggs for nearly a pound of macaroni. Thanks again, sweetcherry!

This recipe is super tasty! I added some of the suggested variations: ham, baby dill pickles, and black olives. I made plenty to take to work for the whole week! Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks for the inspiration. I’ve got some macaroni I need to use up, and plenty of zucchini and green peppers from the garden. I think I’ll throw in some halved cherry tomatoes, too. Yum!
