What a meal! This amazing pasta salad is the best. I have never tried anything like this and I am so glad that I finally decided to give it a try. I am so satisfied with the taste and the convenience of this recipe. Another good thing about this recipe is that you can tweak the ingredients a little bit to make it desirable for kids! For example, I have tried adding crispy bacon in it and my kids went nuts! They loved it so much! I know your kids are gonna love it too!
