(by Shirley McNevich)

8oz. small pasta sells (cooked and drained according to box directions)
2 cups frozen peas
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers
1/4 cup chopped onions
2/3 cup mayo
1 TBSP (or more) balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. Dijon mustard

Cook pasta according to box directions--during the last 3-4 minutes of cooking the pasta, add the frozen peas to the cooking pasta. When pasta is done, drain the pasta/peas. In a bowl add mayo, balsamic vinegar, basil, mustard, salt and pepper--mix with a whisk until well blended. In a separate bowl add the pasta, peas, celery, red bell peppers and onions--toss to mix. Pour the mayo mixture over the pasta mixture--toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until cold.
