Notes

  • Val the Impaler is notorious for NOT sharing recipes, and making things on the fly, and even making things up as she goes along. The recipe shown above is an approximation of one of her pasta salads, so feel free to play around with amounts and ingredients to suit your taste and/or needs. Can be garnished with tiny tim tomatoes, thinly sliced hard boiled eggs, assorted greenery, etc.
