Chef 101 Humpday Recipe: Antipasto Pasta Salad

I had some summer sausage for almost 6 months in my freezer, and I’ve learned, in nearly 7 months of cooking, that that is too long.  So I went online and found this recipe to use it up pronto.  I added tri-color peppers, kidney and garbanzo beans, corn, artichoke hearts, mushrooms and broccoli to the recipe.  I only took out the tomatoes and all of the salad dressing ingredients as my family hates tomatoes and loves Ranch dressing.  Of course, I had tons of leftovers.  I ate one gallon of it myself over two days and gave the other gallon to my next-door neighbors.  I sure hope they survived…
