Here is my recipe that is often requested.
1/2-3/4 box Tri-color spiral pasta
4 oz hard Salami
4 oz Pepperoni
1/2 red onion chopped
1 chopped/sliced carrot
8 oz Pepper jack cheese cut into chunks
Grape tomatoes halved
1/2-1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
Black olives rings to taste(opt)
1-16 oz Zesty Italian Salad dressing
Make the day before to allow flavors to meld.
I also opt to use 8 oz of pepperoni and eliminate the hard salami.

Usually never much left of mine. A box of small elbows or shells, cooked to your liking, drain. Pour in large bowl with lid. Over just drained macaroni, put chopped hard boiled eggs, 4-5, chopped sweet onion, 1/4 to 1/2 cup, depending on how you like onions, chopped celery, to taste, 2-3 heaping tablespoons of sweet pickle relish, garlic powder, salt and pepper to your liking. Pour over all, Marzetti's Slaw Dressing (it's on the shelves where the other salad dressings and mayo's are). Make it sloppy, cover tightly and refrigerate 24 hours. Stir and serve. The macaroni will absorb a lot of the dressing. Always put your dressings on over the hot pasta, the taste is much better. And yes I do use the same dressing to make my coleslaw, just pour it over shredded cabbage. Sometimes I make my potato salad the same way, trading out the pasta for cooked potatoes. Both are always a hit.

I use only Hellman's regular mayo. I make essentially the recipe that is on the side of the Mueller's elbow macaroni box. Might salt this lightly after it's on my plate, but I try to leave the salt decision up to the individual instead of salting the entire recipe to suit myself.

The only pasta salad I make has an Italian dressing type dressing on it and has kidney beans or garbanzo beans, green beans, olives, parmesan cheese and halved cherry tomatoes.
