Pasta salad

[buzzyb]

Morning all,

Can anyone suggest a party receipe for pasta salad that does not contain meat, tomatoes or peppers.

I am looking for something special but not to complicated and enough to feed about 20 people.

Many thanks

cheese pasta salad

How about mixing with mushrooms, courgettes, aubergines, peas, sweetcorn, mangetout, green beans, the choice is endless!!!

Maybe use a oil based dressing instead of a mayonaissey one.

The one I usually do has peppers in it but you could subsitute any salad veg for it.

Chop loads of spring onions, grate loads of cheese, mix it with some pasta and salad dressing (french is usually best) and whatever veg you like!
