Helpful hints

  • Choose rice or salad pasta (elbow, mini shells, salad macaroni). Both work well in this amazing salad.
  • Reduce mayonnaise or use fat-free mayonnaise for a lower fat dish.
  • Two medium celery stalks will yield about 1 cup sliced celery, a medium onion is about 2-1/2" in diameter, 1 small cucumber is 6-7" long and a medium radish is about 1" in diameter.
  • A large red bell pepper will yield 1 cup chopped. When preparing this recipes, the left over pepper can be sliced and used as a snack
