No mayonnaise in this, so it's safe to take to a picnic. It's hot where I live and we have to be careful sometimes! Chilling time is not included in the prep time.

How To Make spectacular picnic salad

Step 1

Cook the rotini according to package directions; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain well, and set aside.

Step 2

Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pineapple juice. Set the pineapple juice aside. Combine the reserved rotini, pineapple chunks, broccoli, and the next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; toss gently.
Step 3

Combine the reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, and the next 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a wire whisk until blended. Pour dressing over the rotini mixture, and toss gently. Cover and chill thoroughly. Sprinkle the salad with chopped parsley just before serving.
