Cook pasta according to directions. While pasta is cooking chop all veggies (except cherry tomatoes) and eggs. I like my veggies finely chopped. When pasta is aldente, drain and rinse in cold water. Add veggies, tomatoes, black olives, eggs, crab or shrimp or both to pasta. In smaller bowl mix together the Miracle Whip and mayo, till well blended. Add to pasta and mix gently. If you like your salad creamier, add more MW & Mayo in equal amounts, this is what makes this salad special pop! Salt and pepper to your liking.
