I used black olives because I don't like green olives, and I added a can of pineapple chunks. Good!

    A really tasty salad Ollin. I used half mayonnaise and half youghurt along with barbecue sauce instead of ketchup which isn't so widely available in Australia. For the peppers I used a couple of miniature red and yellow capsicums to add some extra color.

    Very good, Ollin. I can see why your pasta salad is famous. I want to caution others to observe the note about adding salt only if needed. The Maggi and feta add plenty as it is. You very probably won't need more.
