I love this salad! You can make it in advance, like the day before and it's even better that way. The dressing has time to marinate together with the rest of the ingredients that way. This dish is very simple, pretty much just chopping everything and cooking the pasta. Easy! And oh so delicious. You can pair it with meat as a side salad or do what Mike and I did... eat it all by itself as a main dish! In the picture, I forgot to include the olives. I don't like olives so I was just going to put it in Mike's and take a picture of his plate, but I forgot it all together. Oh well. Make this dish! You will not be disappointed. Enjoy!!!
