  2. Tonya, you forgot to add that the pasta salad is usually alot prettier to look at than what the picture shows because your dad through it together for us because we were working on Parker's birthday party.

This pasta salad is also tastilicious for days!! I hope it becomes part of alot of families favorite recipes.

  3. This may be a silly question, but what is accent?

  4. Accent is MSG. You'll find it near the salt in any grocery store.

  5. Thank you Anonymous.. I was about to ask the same question! Be careful when taking this one to a party.. a lot of peeps are allergic to MSG! Can't wait to make this!

  6. Is the yellow mustard the dry mustard or just regular mustard

  7. Please don't add the accent. As a nurse you should know that it is pure MSG and NOT healthy. In fact, you should let others know its in there if you bring it to a party because many ppl have serious reactions to it. It's not even really needed in the recipe.
