Notes
- Best Foods, sometimes sold as Hellmans is the traditional mayonnaise to use in this recipe.
- This salad can be made up to 24 hours ahead, and keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Pasta absorbs liquid in the fridge so you may want to loosen the salad with a little more milk just before serving.
