Dear Cook, in the fall of 2007, near Grand Rapids, Ron and I attended my Uncle Leon’s 80th birthday party. At the party, I helped myself to some pasta salad from the buffet table. From there, I made my way to Amy, my uncle’s daughter. After taking a few bites of the salad, I said to Amy, “This is the best pasta salad I have ever eaten. Amy smiled and said, “Guess what the name of it is, Best Ever Pasta Salad! I made it.” I think you just might like to try it yourself.
