Summer Pasta Salad

This is on of my favorite things to make. I am not sure how it is possible I have not made it since last summer. Even my dad likes this recipe. Its very simple and you can really add whatever vegetables you want to it. It is really light which is nice especially in the summer when it is super hot out side. It's great for a side dish, or for lunch! It is even better the next day because the flavors get to sit over night.
