I love this salad, and while the recipe does make a lot, this pasta salad is sure to please your guests. I do make this salad one day prior to serving, and that's so I can incorporate a bit more of the Italian dressing into the salad.

    The next day (or morning), add the remaining ingredients, plus the 2/3's cup of Italian dressing.
