I just made this for a trivia night I'm going to this evening. It is sure to be a hit. Ihave to keep myself from sneaking too much of it before I leave. I'll definitley be making this again. Thanks, Neelys!

This is the best pasta salad I have ever had! I made it for a company get-together and it got rave reviews. Everyone who tried it used the same descriptive word - "Addicting"! When it was in my refrigerator overnight, I couldn't resist having a midnight snack. As a side note, I originally tried the Neelys' grilling spice and now I keep a covered glass container of it near my stove. I use it on EVERYTHING! It works on vegetables, meats, and almost everything I cook to "spice it up" a little! You guys ROCK!
