Okay! Talk about a delicious pasta salad--This is it!! My friend, Judy, shared this recipe with me and it has become one of our favorites. It makes a huge bowl so this is a good salad to take to any covered dish activity.
**You have to make this salad the day before, so you need to plan ahead when you make it.
