This was good pasta salad. It went together very quickly and easily, with ingredients that I always have on hand. My family usually prefers a sweeter salad, using sweet pickles instead of dill, but this was a nice change of pace. We really liked the addition of Jack cheese instead of the usual cheddar. Thank you for sharing!!
