This is a great pasta salad. I loved the color and the fresh taste of it. This is a great salad for picnics. I started the water boiling for the pasta as I made the dressing and then as the pasta was cooking I prepped all the other ingredients. It is a quick and simple recipe. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
