Seafood Salad
2 cups cooked pasta shapes, coloured ones are &look nice. up 2 cups surimi 1/2 to 1 cup shrimps. 1 cup mixed veg.. ie: chuck wagon corn mixed would go well.Combine all in bowl & add seafood dressing, if this is bit strong, add some mayo. Quite bit dressing is needed as you don't want dry salad..
or instead of surimi add a tin of salmon , or this can be added too. Enjoy!!
