I was given this recipe by my Anatomy & Physiology instructor the day our class held a potluck lunch. We found out it was given to him by a local restaurant chef under strict orders not to share it! Of course, he could have been teasing us about that. I'm glad he shared it because I have made it for many family get-togethers. It feeds a crowd, travels well, and is delicious. Enjoy!

How To Make creamy pasta salad
-
1Boil the pastas according to package directions. I wouldn't boil them all together because the vermicelli will need less cooking time than the other shapes.
-
2In a large bowl, mix all of the dressing ingredients until well combined. Add the veggies and cooked, drained pasta. Mix well and chill until ready to serve.
