This is a favorite salad that we make for parties or the 4th of July celebration. It has such a funny name. I guess it is because the Acini de Pepe pasta is little round balls. I have also used the pasta that looks like rice. I can not think of the name of it. All well, Love , Love this salad. It makes a huge bowl. It does not seem to last and it is always great the next day. The marshmallows are softer. The recipe needs to be started the night before you need it. So enjoy!
