This is a great salad! After cooking and draining the pasta, toss it with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. I added leftover ham for a great main dish salad, although I think it looks and tastes better if you serve it right away, not the next day. Served right away, it looks really appetizing!

I made this for a gathering this past weekend, and a lot of people commented on how good it was.

This is my family's favorite pasta salad. No matter how many times I make it, it always goes fast and soon someone asks me: "When are you going to fix that California Pasta Salad again?"
