Share Your Best Potluck Pasta Salad Recipe!

[heat123]

I was assigned a pasta salad for Easter potluck. I was wondering if you all would share a Pasta salad you all make for potlucks and such? I have made the Colosal pasta salad a few times and the Asian one also.... this year I wanted to try a new one. Anyone like to share theirs? TIA it doesn't have to be a PC recipe

Heather - I have one that I really like - it's not an Italian dressing one though, it's more of a sweet and sour dressing...I'll post it if you're interested.
