Spinach Pasta Salad - Taste of Home

This was contributed by Ruby Pyles in the 1999 Taste of Home Annual Recipes. I am posting so I don't have to keep looking thru 12 books to find it! I usually prepare the dressing first so it can "develop" while chopping the rest of the salad. Also, this salad does not hold well so serve it soon after mixing with dressing.
