Creamy Summer Pasta Salad

Notes: 

Light and slightly tangy pasta salad, with just enough creamy dressing to coat the noodles and vegetables, this is one heck of an awesome pasta salad. Perfect on it's own for a light meal or as a side dish for all the summer potlucks and barbecues. This is better than any deli salad you can buy at the store!

Last weekend, I visited my aunt and uncle and was lucky enough to arrive around dinnertime. My aunt is a fabulous cook, so I tend to time it that way, you know, accidentally on purpose? Her pasta salad was so simple, and so delicious, I had to make it for my family as soon as I got back home. Thanks once more for the inspiration, Aunt Judy! (If you haven't already tried them, my aunt's shortbread-style Almond Bars are one of the most requested recipes on the blog.)
