SUMMER MACARONI SALAD
When we grill, my mother asks me to make this summer pasta salad. To make it extra creamy, I like to keep a small amount of dressing separate and stir it in just before serving. -Carly Curtin, Ellicott City, Maryland

CALIFORNIA PASTA SALAD
One of my children is particularly fond of pasta salads, and this is his all-time fave. It's from a cookbook compiled by the ladies at his grandmother's church years ago. This is a great dish for cookouts or tailgate parties if any guests are vegetarian, but you can always add some chopped pepperoni or ham if you'd prefer. P.S. If this is really close to a recipe already posted, I apologize. Spent 20 minutes checking, but there are soooo many....!

Steps:
- Boil rotini. (Package directions will indicate 8-10 minutes. My family thinks 'al dente' translates to 'raw', so I cook the pasta 4 or 5 minutes longer, until it tastes tender.).
- Drain pasta; rinse well with cold water.
- In a very, very large bowl, mix cooled pasta with zucchini, cucumber, sweet peppers, onion and olives, if desired.
- Stir in tomatoes. (I use a slotted spoon. That way, you get a little juice, but not an overwhelming amount. If fresh ones are in season, even better, of course!)
- In a small bowl, mix grated cheese with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, celery seeds, paprika and garlic powder.
- Sprinkle seasoning mixture over pasta; stir well.
- Pour Italian dressing over all, stirring well.
- Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving. (Actually, I find this hits its' 'peak' at 48 hours. Stays good for several days after that, but finally begins to get mushy.).
