I love this summer pasta salad because you can pretty much make it any way you want. It is the perfect pasta salad for summer picnics or camp outs. Our cousin, Jill, makes this when our family has big get togethers and I always think of her when I make it. She is actually the one who made the pasta salad pictured! She made it for us over Easter (it always tastes better when someone else makes it, I don’t know what it is)!
