This is a delicious, summery pasta salad that's incredibly easy to make! I often get requests for it at family gatherings. I usually use fat-free Italian dressing and light mayonnaise and it still tastes fantastic. Feel free to throw in some peppers and other veggies too!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 lb uncooked pasta, of your choice
1 stalk celery, diced
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/2-3/4 cup Italian salad dressing (to taste)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
2
Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente.
3
Drain and pour pasta into a large dish.
4
Stir in the celery and tomatoes.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the salad dressing and mayonnaise, then pour this mixture over the salad and toss again, to coat.
6
Cover and chill until ready to serve.
7
Enjoy!

I made this as written and it was good. Like other reviewers, I added cucumbers but you can add anything that your family likes into this salad. I made my own italian dressing and used a half a cup of it. This was a nice, different pasta salad for us.

Very fast and simple! I added some black olives, avacados and shredded cheddar cheese, tasted great! You can add almost anything to your liking to this salad. It is great for a summer time BBQ or potluck! Thanks a lot for a wonderful recipe!

This has turned into the dish my mother-in-law asks me to bring when we come for weekend cookouts! The only change I made was adding some chopped onion and EVERYONE loves it! Thanks for posting such a great variation to what could be a boring sidedish!!!
