]1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon lemon jiuce

Cook pasta according to package directions. Rinse with cold water to cool quickly, drain well. Meanwhile in large bowl, combine mayonaise, pickles, onion, lemon juice, mustard, pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Blend in cooled pasta, peas and cheddar. Toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate.
I found this recipe on the back of the American Beauty pasta package tonight, and thought how similar it is to the recipe I had posted earlier on Crunchy Pasta Salad. I guess a person could say this is a variation. But the recipe does sound promising.
