How to Store Leftover Pasta Salads
To store any leftover pasta salads, simply place in an airtight container and leave in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
How to Cook Perfect Pasta
Bring your salted water to a rolling boil before adding the pasta. Once the pasta has been added to the pot, turn the heat down just a bit and stir the pasta or macaroni for about 1 full minute. This will prevent pasta from sticking. Once the pasta has been drained, rinse with cold water and drain again. Leave pasta in the colander until ready to use. If it is a bit sticky when ready to use, simply rinse again with a little bit of cold water. Make sure the pasta is well drained of water before using.
Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip?
In this recipe you could use both, but we definitely prefer the taste of mayonnaise with the deviled egg salad.
