Garden Pasta Salad
"This is basically the pasta salad my mom made growing up. I like it with lots of meat, cheese & veggies and smaller amounts of pasta. It's easy to alter as well"

Awesome! This is a great salad. We made it exactly as posted. It turned out to be much more than I expected (lasted us 4 days) but then I saw that it does serve 8. My husband loved it but said he would like to have it for a picnic without the ham. Great recipe, HobbysGirl!!! Thanks!! Made for PAC 2012
