This pasta salad is the perfect summer (or anytime) side dish or meal all by itself. Try using a batch of homemade Italian dressing in lieu of bottled dressing for the salad.
These are a winner at any party or potluck -- even the die-hard carnivores will gobble them up. Sure, they're a little labor-intensive, but SO worth the effort. Party bonus: You can make a bunch and freeze them for later use.
