Pasta salads are big in the summer time. They are easy to make. You usually have all the ingredients handy and they feed a army. I make about five different varieties of pasta salads. This one happens to be a crowd pleaser. Some of the ingredients may make you think it is a spicy salad but in fact it is just a hint of flavor. It is not too spicy for children of any age.
