While browsing for a pasta salad recipe, I found Inez Willenborg's Homestyle Macaroni Salad. It sounded good, but I didn't have all the ingredients, so I improvised and came up with this one. We absolutely loved it. Thank you, Inez, for the recipe that was the inspiration for this winner.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 ounces bow tie pasta (or pasta of your choice)
2 hardboiled egg, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped fine
1/4 cup fresh salsa (homemade or the refrigerated variety sold in the produce section)
2 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup Miracle Whip (or mayonnaise)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Directions

1
Cook pasta in salted boiling water until tender.
2
Drain pasta and rinse with cold water.
3
Combine all remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
4
Add pasta and stir until the pasta is coated.
5
Refrigerate at least an hour before serving.

I really enjoyed this salad! I used mayonaise and I didn't have any buttermilk so I added a tbls. of vinegar to a1/4 cup milk. I used commercial salsa. Thanks for a yummy recipe!

This is incredible! I doubled the sauce ingredients as I made it the night before the lunch I was going to serve it at and I didn't want it to dry out. It was perfect! I served it with chopped black olives, sliced green olives and mild banner rings as garnish. My guests raved! Thanks for making me look good PanNan!
