Nice summertime lunch or dinner

Another wonderful Recipe I got from my Grandmother (Nan). This is a great side dish or main dish, on a hot day it is nice and cool. use reduced fat mayo and it tastes the same with a lot less fat.

Watching Rachel Ray inspired me! this is 4 (old) Weight watchers points per cup, but MUCH less fat than your average macaroni salad...or for that matter, deep fried jalepeno poppers! This batch is HUGE you may want to cut it in half!

A throw back to your grandma's favorite potluck picnic salad made fit and healthy with brown rice pasta, plenty of veggies and a low calories dressing.

I used hot dog relish for calculations but I use my own zucchini relish in this recipe. Amount of finished product is approximate.
