~~~Use What You Have Pasta Salad~~~

I wanted to make a quick pasta salad the other day so I usually just "use what I have" on hand. It is an easy way to whip up a quick pasta salad. Here is what I used. I chopped some celery and onion and had some red bell pepper in the freezer. I also had some frozen peas to add.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmxGFc46Cwa3RyG6pGUpx58rOI9JEcUI8tKmkJNx6vxKeri4eGDyM5vlLuJ5XdJqyZLSc3Ywk98h78tlZBl22ahHDfcD-8kL2FtWdPysv8RZXkA9kDoo7Y8n8gixgdonUpYnFrqpzQaT52/s1600/IMG_0662.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmxGFc46Cwa3RyG6pGUpx58rOI9JEcUI8tKmkJNx6vxKeri4eGDyM5vlLuJ5XdJqyZLSc3Ywk98h78tlZBl22ahHDfcD-8kL2FtWdPysv8RZXkA9kDoo7Y8n8gixgdonUpYnFrqpzQaT52/s640/IMG_0662.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKUsrOvISj_tXCAkfMpr-eRzdKnY28WX30u0SQy2CsRU3WzmbMTE6Wr45hkrJyT8VoZhHpr2RjrOU3CEOeQp8o4x7vG2cHazmK47GGZrm-DV4TmtdYB4YkrEfI80RsDQuYDOJWSikxAub_/s1600/IMG_0663.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKUsrOvISj_tXCAkfMpr-eRzdKnY28WX30u0SQy2CsRU3WzmbMTE6Wr45hkrJyT8VoZhHpr2RjrOU3CEOeQp8o4x7vG2cHazmK47GGZrm-DV4TmtdYB4YkrEfI80RsDQuYDOJWSikxAub_/s640/IMG_0663.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVDG9bI5O9F4oEGPcEr7hF17yj3keZBSNWI00QpF-ujLAD9BVv2fbFqHLaQWspQh3HTv1pCHO3uigAV_Dn2_fH_zjMYOahy8hrZDMVVjL4blJsuySuokDt1sQqk3FKb9nGPHXddt89M82C/s1600/IMG_0664.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVDG9bI5O9F4oEGPcEr7hF17yj3keZBSNWI00QpF-ujLAD9BVv2fbFqHLaQWspQh3HTv1pCHO3uigAV_Dn2_fH_zjMYOahy8hrZDMVVjL4blJsuySuokDt1sQqk3FKb9nGPHXddt89M82C/s640/IMG_0664.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I cooked some shell pasta....<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj8E0bh5BxLFO6FiTHT6UegbjsFpBLPWaNF9wvj6xDM0kXYaHkVUjAr093152Bevq_Ys3xthO1bNuZLErA24K_w8vewEPg440lCDkBt3JucrZtuy_NdeOYfANNNdVHFSjAQ-RQVtAy3Hnn/s1600/IMG_0665.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj8E0bh5BxLFO6FiTHT6UegbjsFpBLPWaNF9wvj6xDM0kXYaHkVUjAr093152Bevq_Ys3xthO1bNuZLErA24K_w8vewEPg440lCDkBt3JucrZtuy_NdeOYfANNNdVHFSjAQ-RQVtAy3Hnn/s640/IMG_0665.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> and THIS is my secret ingredient. I add some Miracle Whip and mustard and then this wonderful spice. I use ALOT, about 1/2 the jar for a pound of pasta. It really makes it taste fabulous. Put everything in the bowl with the cooked and drained and COOLED pasta and stir. And there you have it, delicious!
