Everyone has their favorite ingredients that
make up a pasta salad, just check out the
comments below. Here are a few additions and
variations you may be craving now.
The most requested/commented variation is to
use mayo instead of Miracle Whip. If you prefer
to, go for it. Personally, the sweetness in
Miracle Whip is what I have the most fondness
for.
Or, try a half and half situation by subbing in
half sour cream or Greek yogurt for any part of
the mayo/Miracle Whip combo.
Add pickles. Diced sweet pickles, dill pickles
or pickle relish will give this salad another
layer of zing.
Chopped red onion or radishes will add a bit
more heat.
Add bacon for an earthy bite (or just make my
Baked Potato Salad with bacon, sour cream and
cheddar cheese instead.)
Try red potatoes instead of Yukon gold, and
leave their jacket skins on for a more colorful
potato look.
