Recipe Note

This is seriously the best pasta salad ever. It makes an easy meal for vegans or vegetarians, or you can serve it as a side for a meat dish. Bring it to a party or BBQ and it will steal the show! And it's adaptable--use whatever you have in your fridge! Best when refrigerated and served cold.
