Looking for a pasta salad recipe?

I'm looking for a cold pasta salad recipe. Does anyone have a recipe for pasta salad? The recipe cannot be spicy and cannot have cheese, cream cheese, or tomatoes in it.Looking for a pasta salad recipe?
This is very good, just leave the tomatoes out. You can play with it add some mushrooms, black olives, etc.





Chilled Spaghetti Salad

You really only need a good Italian salad dressing. I like Newman鈥檚 Own. Use whatever you like. I use penne pasta because it鈥檚 chewier. Again, you can use whatever you like- spirals, elbow macaroni, bowties. I add thinly sliced carrots, small diced celery, diced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, cherry or grape tomatoes sliced in half. [you can omit the tomaroes] If you use an entire 16oz box of pasta, you will use about half a bottle of dressing. You can鈥檛 mess it up. Just add and stir it up- you鈥檒l know when you have enough. You want everything to be nicely coated and a little bit on the bottom. For that quantity, I add 录 teaspoon dried basil leaves. It adds a lot to the flavor and to the presentation. If you want, add sliced green onions, broccoli, sliced black olives. Then add 陆 cup of grated parmesan (real parmesan, not the stuff in the can). Just chill in the frig for at least an hour. Making the day before works out great. I make this all the time. I brought to a potluck recently, and everyone ate it up.
Italian style...toss cooked pasta with bottled Italian dressing, either oil and vinegar or creamy, add cut slices of black and /or green olives, chopped onion, celery and roasted red pepper (optional), salt %26amp; pepper.
spag noodles cooked and drained cool by running cold water over them chop yellow and red onion and green bell peeper add to noodles pour a bpttle of zezty itailain dressing and add alot of pepper mix well and refriderate
Hellmans mayo, white tuna fish, seeded cucumber diced up tiny, green and or red pepper diced up, celery diced some paprika, salt and pepper.
