This was a great twist on typical pasta salad - colorful and tasty! I used campanelle pasta, which worked out fine. I made this exactly as posted, except I had to use red bell pepper instead of green. The beans are a nice change of pace, and the end result is a really fresh-tasting salad! Thanks for sharing.

I am a busy mom both with stuff at home and my work. My kids and husband love to try new creations so they are right at home with my love of recipes. It is fun to make something and try several different ways at it. I love to try different enchilada recipes, recipes for various ice teas, and anything that gets food on the table on the weeknights. Restaurant recipes for the weekends are another favorite.
