One of my favorite summer fares. This recipe is from a 1997 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. Very wonderful mix of flavors. Use the dressing to taste. You may need to make either more dressing or more pasta, depending on the strength you want it.
cup roasted cashews, salted, coarsely chopped (about 4 ounces)
