This is a great salad that is quick to put together and very tasty. I love balsamic so if you do too, give this a try. You can also use white balsamic to keep the color of all the veggies and pasta in tact

I can't rave like other did but we thought this was a really good main course pasta salad. Next time I would use smaller sized pasta and more vegetables.
