This pasta is really grand slam. I was looking for simple but mild pleasant tasting pasta. The end of July, I am going to serve 100 teens for 10 days at the Costa Rica. A couple of volunteer will serve the kitchen with me and we need to proved 3 meals & 2 snacks for a day. We planed the menu what we can handle it without burn our selves out. BUT ALSO THEY MUST BE SO GOOD that all of kids enjoy each meals. This dish is the best choice. Thank you so much!


Dynie, This looks delish! I love pasta salad year round but especially in the summer. I can't wait to make this, the dressing sounds so yummy. I might add diced cucumber to it. thanks again for the great post! Marcia

I am told that spiral pasta has more surface area so it will pick up more of the dressing - I will try that when I make your oh so delicious salad!
