Kraft Kitchens Tips

Storage Know-How

If there isn't a lot of room in your refrigerator, store the prepared salad in a large resealable bag until ready to serve. Transfer to bowl just before serving.

Special Extra

For added color and flavor, sprinkle salad with chopped fresh parsley just before serving.

This is by far the best pasta salad recipe I have ever made. It's on the menu atleast once a week.

This pasta salad is excellent - the diced tomatoes mixed with the mayo provide quite a flavorful dressing! Brought it to a potluck dinner; everyone wanted the recipe!
