I've never made a cold pasta salad before. I made this salad and it was a hit with my family. I substituted the pasta with mini farfalle and the broccoli with peas because that was in my pantry. I also added some shredded mozzarella. Thank you. I will definitely add this pasta to my signature dishes.

My family is not a fan of cold pasta salads, and as we are a Pacific Island family we preferred serving it as a warm dish served with rice. A few kids did put some in the icebox to take to school the next day. That's our biggest compliment. Used Miracle Whip with the ranch dressing. The potatoes gave it such a warmth my hubby thought it had cheese in it. Quick to make, definitely a keeper.
