Love pasta salads especially for those summer cook outs. Great to find one so unlike our family favorites and one we really enjoyed - is so going to be a repeatable at our house.Had to do a sub on the asparagus as didn't have on hand . Used garden fresh carrots, a mix of garden vegetables from my back yard garden and snipped in fresh parsley. The garlic and the red onion along with the simple dressing made this eye appealing salad taste as good as it looked. Thank you Cookie in Ontario, happy I found this one as it's a keeper for sure.
