Very different and tasty pasta salad! Nice combination of fruits that were great with the walnuts too. I thought it needed salt so added some to my serving and that made it great for me. DH put pepper on his and liked that too. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for Fall Pick-A-Chef 2011

Refreshing and very unique! This would be great for a pool party, summer buffet or even a brunch side dish. I used Fanciful Fruit pasta which is available at the Downtown Orlando Farmer's Market or at www.pappardellesonline.com. I only had a 6 oz. container of yogurt on hand but that was perfect to coat everything. Next time I may try using a flavored yogurt instead of flavoring it with the orange juice concentrate.
