Cook the Pasta. Fill a large pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, following package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water, and set aside while you prep the rest.
8 Ounces Pasta
Boil and Chop the Eggs. In a large pot add 2 inches of water and your eggs. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10–12 minutes. Then immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath or cold running water. Once cooled, peel and chop them.
6 Large Eggs
Mix the Dressing. In a medium bowl combine mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, granulated sugar, dry mustard, lemon juice, and paprika. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
1 Cup Mayonnaise, 1 Cup Miracle Whip Salad Dressing, ½ Cup Granulated Sugar, ¾ Teaspoon Dry Mustard, 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice, 1 Teaspoon Paprika
Combine the Salad. Grab a large mixing bowl and add the cooled pasta, chopped eggs, diced cheese, julienned carrots, peas, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and stir everything together until well coated.
2 Slices Cheese, 1 Cup Carrots, 1 Cup Frozen Peas, 1 Cup Beef Steak Tomatoes, 1/4 Cup Bell Peppers
Chill and Serve. Scoop the salad into a large serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least an hour. Chilling allows the flavors to blend and the texture to set. Serve cold for the best taste and texture.
