February 7, 2018 at 4:29 AMI am going to try this soon. We used to go to the family style restaurants in Lancaster County all the time when we visited relatives in Pa. Their food was always amazing! I might leave out the sugar just to see how it is. Have you done that?
Marilyn
February 7, 2018 at 12:58 PMActually I use splenda instead of sugar for most foods. I never trade it though on my cheesecakes. I love the family restaurants in Lancaster. We used to go to a HUGE one with multiple rooms of buffets when we visited my son. I know it was about 30 minutes away. Wish I could remember the name. I need to ask him. Have a great week!
Rose
February 6, 2018 at 9:07 PMI definitely will make this. Thanks for sharing!!
Marilyn

February 5, 2018 at 12:56 PMHi Marilyn…….this looks like a great salad. Always looking for something different to bring to a pot luck. Can you use Miracle Whip instead of mayo?
Marilyn
February 5, 2018 at 1:11 PMYou sure can substitute miracle whip for mayo. In my kitchen I never use mayo anymore. I don’t think my kids know what mayo is! Have a great week!
Judy Gish
February 4, 2018 at 5:04 PMI will make this. My pasta salad is quite different.
Marilyn
February 4, 2018 at 6:40 PMThank you Judy. Enjoy! Have a great week!
Gayle
February 4, 2018 at 4:44 PMThe photo looks like the salad has cabbage or lettuce but I don’t c that listed
Marilyn
February 4, 2018 at 6:40 PMSometimes I add celery or cheese cubes. I think what you are seeing are cucumbers. Thanks for looking! Have a great week!
Sue
February 4, 2018 at 4:17 PMThis sounds great! I may have even had this or one very similar down in Amish country in Ohio. Can’t wait to try it!
Marilyn
February 4, 2018 at 6:38 PMThere is a restaraunt in Lancaster near where my son lived that serves this. it is awesome! Have a great week!

February 4, 2018 at 4:05 PMAnyone have a good diabetic conversion?
Marilyn
February 4, 2018 at 6:37 PMI don’t have one offhand, but I am sure you can google equivalents. Let me know! Have a great week!
Kristy
February 4, 2018 at 3:23 PMThat looks so delicious. I will have to try this one next time I bbq. I haven’t used sour cream before, maybe that’s the key to keeping it from getting dry.
Marilyn
February 4, 2018 at 6:36 PMThe sour cream makes it creamier as well. I like to use a mixture of half that and half mayo sometimes. Have a great week!

Elise+Ho
January 29, 2018 at 3:39 PMI think that the Amish very much like eggs in most of their salads. I seem to remember that always being the case in the days when I used to go to Amish country regularly.
Marilyn

Marilyn
January 27, 2018 at 4:16 PMI hate being online when I am hungry. I think I do most of my snack eating then. Thanks for commenting on the Amish Pasta Salad.

Michelle
January 26, 2018 at 11:15 PMOh goodness that sounds so delicious Marilyn. Pasta salads are always such a hit and your Amish version sounds incredibly creamy. It’s going to be perfect for a light dinner on a hot summer’s night with some chicken added.
Marilyn
January 27, 2018 at 9:08 AMI love pasta salads tto Michelle. I don’t know why I only make them in warmer weather!! Have a great week.

Heather
January 26, 2018 at 9:59 AMThis sounds delicious! What makes it specifically “Amish?”
Marilyn
January 26, 2018 at 1:48 PMI don’t know. Maybe it is the ingredients they use?
Lynda+Hardy

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

January 26, 2018 at 8:47 AMThank you Karren. I agree. When my son and his family lived in Lancaster I found a ton of great recipes. Have a wonderful week.
Kari+Wagner+Hoban
January 25, 2018 at 7:25 AMI grew up just outside of Amish country in Ohio, so recipes like this are my comfort food. If you’ve never visited Amish country in any of the Midwest states, you are missing out. Such a national treasure,
Marilyn
January 25, 2018 at 1:36 PMWe have some Amish near us too. My son and his family lived in Lancaster, Pa right in the middle of Amish and Menonite country. The hospitality and the food are uncomparable to anything else around. Thx. Have a great week!
Jessica
January 23, 2018 at 2:13 PMThis looks yummy! Can i ask why it’s called an amish pasta salad? Is it something the amish would eat? x
Marilyn
January 23, 2018 at 3:01 PMYou know that is a great question! Maybe for the same reason we all other foods as different “cuisines”? Like Irish Stew etc. thanks for asking.
Helen+at+the+Lazy+Gastronome

January 20, 2018 at 1:18 PMPasta salad is a dish I don’t make nearly often enough. This Amish pasta salad has lots of fresh ingredients and it’s looks so creamy!! 🙂 Taking this to our next family party for sure!
Marilyn
January 20, 2018 at 5:51 PMIt seems like I make it on warm summer days when we eat on the deck. But it is just as good as a dinner side anytime. Enjoy!
Michele+Morin
January 20, 2018 at 6:43 AMLove the Amish touch on anything.
Have you ever visited Amish territory in PA or OH?
There are a few families living here in this area of Maine!
Marilyn
January 20, 2018 at 12:40 PMYes! My son and his family lived in Lancaster, Pa for a few years. I loved the area and atmosphere. There are some great restaraunts in that area too. Have a stress free week!

ColleenB.~+Tx.
January 20, 2018 at 10:20 AMLove pasta salads especially during the hot summer months.
I make something very much like this and I have always added diced ham to the mixture.
Adding mixture of diced up bell peppers really adds some extra color to the mixture as well
Marilyn
January 20, 2018 at 12:39 PMYou are so right! Sometimes I add cubes of cheese, too. Ham sounds great! Have a stress free week!
Marilyn
January 20, 2018 at 12:39 PMThanks Amy. I like to add it when I do a BBQ. Have a stress free week!
