My family loves this salad as either a main meal or a side dish. We especially enjoy making it during the hot summer months, using fresh ingredients right out of our garden. It looks terrific with all the different colors!

This is a great recipe. I have used it many times, and I always get good reviews! I have also used tricolored rotini, and it's great too.
