I made this salad one year when a neighbor came over to help my husband put up hay. They both were hot and dusty, so this cool dish was well received. It's a meal in itself.

2 cups julienned cooked roast beef
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup sliced celery
3/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/3 cup chopped dill pickle
2 to 3 green onions, sliced
DRESSING:
2 tablespoons beef bouillon granules
1/4 cup boiling water
1/2 cup milk
2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 teaspoon dill weed
Dash pepper

Directions

Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. Place in a large bowl; add the beef, green pepper, celery, onion, red pepper, pickle and green onions.
For dressing, in a large bowl, dissolve bouillon in water. Stir in the milk, mayonnaise, sour cream, dill and pepper. Toss with pasta mixture. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

different than any other pasta salad I've ever had. Hearty enough for a whole meal instead of just a side dish. I usually use left over meat from a roast beef dinner.
