Notes

Leftover and Make Ahead Instructions

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If the pasta salad thickens as it chills, stir in a little extra Miracle Whip before serving.
Freezer: Not Recommended
Make Ahead: This Amish pasta salad tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge and can easily be made 1 to 2 days ahead.
