Of all the things I make, this has been one of the most-requested for family gatherings, 4th of July barbecues, and beach weekends with friends for over 30 years. It was originally a deli-case item sold by a now-defunct grocery store, and I got the recipe in the 1980s from a former employee and scaled it down. It's so simple, but that's part of its appeal. I have made many great noodle salads that are spicy and full of veggies, but this very simple one is still the all-time favorite.
