Fiesta Pasta Salad with Dill Pickles image

This dill pickle pasta salad salad has so many different colors that it looks as though there is confetti in it. There is a thousand variations to this salad! My mother adds ham and asparagus to it. I usually use tri-colored pasta in this salad to add even more color. Also I serve green onions on the side. All my friends and family love this so much. I don't think I would be invited on our annual family camping trip if I didn't bring this salad.

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups uncooked fusilli pasta
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd pleaser. I like to add some chopped red onion for extra flavor.

This salad is a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll try it again with less sugar in the dressing.

I didn't have any dill pickles, so I used sweet pickles instead. It was still really good!

I'm not a big fan of dill pickles, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The pickles added a nice tanginess to the salad without being overpowering.

A bit too much pickle flavor for me. Even my son, who loves dill pickles, wasn't a big fan.

I made this for a picnic and everyone loved it. I didn't tell them there were dill pickles in it at first, and they were all surprised. :)
