My sister had a barbeque for my nephew's birthday the past weekend. It gave me a perfect excuse to make this Pasta Salad that I saw on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives from a barbeque joint called The Shed. Everyone was raving about how good and creamy their Pasta Salad tasted so I had to find the recipe. I did a quick search on the internet for a copycat recipe because I could not find official version. This recipe does have the ingredients the cook listed on the show (but she gave no amounts because she was making a massive batch). Of course, I have to put my own 2 cents into the recipe and I added a few extra items and substituted the sour cream in the creamy sauce for low-fat yogurt. I will give you my recipe version and put asterisks next to the items I added so you have your choice on which way to go with this pasta salad. The pasta salad was truly delicious. Everyone enjoyed it at the party and I know I have keeper on my hands here. The reason I named it "Gotta have one more Bite" is because I almost did not have enough pasta salad to take to the party after I kept "taste testing" it. Trust me, you will want to take one bite after another of this pasta salad when you make it too.
