I received this recipe from a good friend. It is one of my favorite salads. It is a nice change from the mayo chicken salad. It is filling, but not heavy. It makes a great meal or side. A great combination of flavors, none of which are too overpowering. This recipe makes a lot, so I usually cut the recipe in half. I'm sure you'll love it! (cooking time is chilling time for pasta) Ingredients:
