Summer Fruit ‘n’ Pasta Salad
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + chilling
YIELD: 14 servings.
I'm always making up recipes, and this refreshing salad came about when I wanted something cool yet spicy to eat during hot summers. Serve it as a meatless main course or as a side dish at barbecues. —Donna Williams, Las Vegas, Nevada
