How to make seafood pasta salad:

Dressing:1 c. salad dressing or mayonnaise3 Tbsp. honey1 Tbsp. lime juice2 Tbsp. milk1/4 tsp. white pepper Cook macaroni per package instructions. Rinse with cold water and drain. In a large mixing bowl, combine salad dressing, honey and lime juice. Stir until smooth. Add milk and pepper. Cut cooked crab and/or lobster meat into bite size pieces (imitation seafood works well in this dish). Add to the dressing with the diced green onion, diced red pepper and celery, sliced at an angle. Stir in the macaroni and refrigerate in an airtight container. Best if prepared a few hours prior to serving, giving the ingredients time to absorb the honey lime flavor. Serves 8 to 10 persons.Variations: Substitute grated carrots for the red pepper.

Dice up that leftover Thanksgiving ham or turkey breast and use instead of seafood.
