    This Robusto Italian Pasta Salad is a recipe from my good friend Dorothy. For many years she has always brought it to any pot luck or picnic. It is always a big hit . Therefore, I decided to make it this year for our Memorial Day Picnic. Some other big hits at our family picnics are The Best Potato Salad With Mustard and Egg and Moms Easy Classic Macaroni Salad With Egg. However, the dessert table always has some great choices also. Easy Lemon Blueberry Dump Cake , Easy Mile High Strawberry Jell-O Pie , and The Best Peach Pie to name just a few. Do you have a favorite salad or dessert that you like to share?

    What kind of Pasta Do You Use For Pasta Salad ?

    Any pasta will work. However, I like to use the colored rotini to make the salad more colorful.

    Could I use a different dressing?

    You absolutely could make your own dressing or a creamy Italian tastes great as well. Personally, the Robusto Italian is my favorite

    Can You make ahead ?

    Yes it is great to make up to a day ahead. However, toss the dressing on at the last minute.

    How long will left over Italian Pasta Salad keep?

    If refrigerated ,it should be fine for 3 or 4 days no problem.
