Pine Nut Pasta Salad
"This is a recipe I got from a friend of my mother's. It is a very light and tasty variation on standard pasta salad. The pine nuts add a rich hearty flavor. The recipe is very versatile; you can add more veggies or remove them and it would still be delicious. This is the variation I like best."
