Pasta Salad With Green Onion Dressing image

From Everyday Exotic. I like to use the dressing for pasta salad and change the rest with what I feel like. Sometimes I even throw in tuna.

The dressing was too thick. I had to add some milk to thin it out.

This pasta salad was a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

I'm not sure about the green onion dressing. It was a bit too tangy for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I was hesitant to try this dressing. But I'm glad I did! The green onions and sour cream give it a nice tangy flavor that isn't too heavy.

This pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few extra carrots, celery, and onions in my fridge, and this is a great way to use them up.

This pasta salad was a hit at my last potluck! I used rotini pasta and added some chopped red bell pepper for extra color. The green onion dressing was a perfect balance of tangy and creamy.
