I love this salad recipe. I also make it with tri-colour pasta {rainbow pasta} and cut the onions in 1/2 or 1/4.

Have made this salad several times now for BBQs and a potluck at school. Everyone loved it and several have asked for the recipe. Wouldn't change a thing.

This was great! Everyone enjoyed it and was easy to make. The only thing I would do differntly next time would be to chop the onions not slice them.

I first had this at a friend's house. She used sugar snap peas instead of peas. It's delicious. We also use the kraft shredded 3 cheese (mexican) with jalapenos...very good & adds a little spice to the dish
