Monica's Pasta Salad

Brackenridge House Website

I couldn't believe it when my daughter gave me this recipe. She had never been able to cook. She is an environmental engineer and we always teased her, saying she was a genius with hazardous waste and waste water, but a real basket case in the kitchen. I have since eaten my words and her cooking! This is the best pasta salad I've ever tasted and super easy to make. ...Sue Blansett
