Picnic Perfect Pasta Salad

This pasta dish is extremely easy to put together, and all of the ingredients are really affordable. I like to make it the day ahead of when I am going to use it just so that the noodles have time to soak up all of the flavors thoroughly. There is just something about pasta that sits over night that makes it so much more flavorful. I love it! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at All Recipes:

I bring this dish to every potluck event all summer long!
