This salad is always a big hit at buffets and especially picnics. The small amount of mayonnaise allows it to keep much better than the traditional pasta salad.

This salad was a disappointment. The vegetables were limp and the dressing was bland.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really dry. I think I may have used too little dressing.

I found the salad to be a bit too heavy. I think it would be better with a lighter dressing.
