Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package uncooked tri-colored spiral pasta
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package imitation crabmeat, flaked
1 (6.5 ounce) can tiny shrimp, drained
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 English cucumber, diced

I have made this pasta salad with different types of pasta, and it always turns out great. I recommend using a short pasta, such as penne or rotini, so that the salad is easy to eat.
