Make-Ahead Pasta Salad

This is a very easy pasta salad recipe that works great as a make-ahead lunch/dinner for a busy week. I prepare the ingredients and combine them straight into tupperware containers to store in the fridge. This pasta salad is great COLD, which is nice for us AZ peeps as the weather heats up.

Enjoy!
