Notes:
5
This recipe does best with Miracle Whip and not mayonnaise. Mayonnaise will start to fall apart and become watery as it sits with the salad.
6
Also note that many popular tri-colored pasta comes in only a 12-ounce box. The recipe needs 16 ounces. If you are unable to find a large enough box of tri-colored pasta, you may use any kind of pasta for this salad.
