What picnic or outdoor event would be complete without a huge pasta salad to go with your barbecue, steaks, or hamburgers? When I found this antipasto pasta salad by Food Wishes on Youtube, I knew I was onto a real winner and was so excited to make it! My mom’s 90th birthday was coming up and she loves macaroni salad, so I am planning a wonderful cookout for her and inviting everyone from her past. The way I see it is, the macaroni salad may just very well be a lifesaver here because so many people are invited, it will be a good way to pad out the menu, in case we run low on meat. The way this salad is made is very unique as well because you make the dressing in the large salad bowl first.
