I recently served this at a family get together we had for my nephew who just returned home from serving a two year mission in the Philippines for our church. It is so great to have him home again. There were about 30 people at this gathering and this pasta salad was gobbled right up. Next time I will make extra and save some at home in the fridge for me to eat as leftovers..haha!

Go ahead and make it! I think you will love it! Thanks for stopping by! I always love having you! xo
