Patchwork Quilt Pasta Salad

Patchwork Quilt Pasta Salad

This is one of the best tasting pasta salads I have ever had. My family and in-laws love it and I can never make enough. You can change or substitute the ingredients in the salad if you’d like to. This salad is best when prepared a day ahead.
