This Deli-style Pasta Salad is a great side dish with barbecue. Especially great to pack for potlucks. Now, what else would one want from potluck food!!

Food that stays fresh longer, are easy to carry, can be served without reheating and some which everyone, kids and adults, can enjoy!

One important thing to remember is not to rinse the macaroni with cold water and let it cool completely before adding the dressing.

If you ass it while the pasta is too hot, the Mayo sort of melts and you get a greasy salad. I don’t put much sugar. Most of the deli put a half a cup of sugar in this much dressing which for my taste is way too much.

You can tweak the vegetables and dressing ingredients to your liking.

But no matter what you put in, try to let it sit a couple of hours or overnight before serving. The flavors with developing and the macaroni will fully absorb the dressing.
