I have been making this pasta salad for many, many years and it is always a big hit ! You could say I'm famous for it, at least around here, anyway, lol. It is rare there is any leftover when I take it to cookouts and shindigs. Friends are always asking me for the recipe, so here it is ya'll, lol ! I am not a big fan of raw bell peppers and did not include them, but you could certainly add those as well.
