This is a winner! Made for a light dinner this past Friday and even my 14 year old DSS enjoyed it. Minor changes were: used 4 TBS of vinegar (better balance of sweet/sour for us); used rainbow twist pasta since that was what was on hand; used toasted chopped pecans rather than almonds. But even without the nuts this salad has a lovely flavor. Fact is I made a second batch tonight, per request of my dear fiancé, for tomorrow's lunch.
