Whenever I attend a potluck or family gathering, I'm asked to make this salad, which has been a family secret for over 50 years. My husband likes it as a main dish, served with garlic bread. —Barbara Robbins Cave Junction, Oregon

I made a few changes,but it still came out great..I used shredded carrot and broccoli in place of peas, I low fat or less fat the things that I could(mayo, dressing) and I tried it with whole wheat pasta..I am going to try it with other veggies also.Thank you for the recipe..

I would have to agree with Aquarelle...this makes a ton! It's a nice change from traditional macaroni salads.

My ten-year-old daughter loves shrimp, and this is one of her favorite recipes. Even if you halve all of the ingredients it still makes a lot--I'd say it serves more like 20 to 24 than 16--so I generally fix it for potlucks and set some aside for us to enjoy at home.
