This pasta salad is super versatile! You can serve it warm as a main dish, or you can chill it and bring it to all your summer parties. It is colorful and bursting with summer flavor, but what is really great is how light and fresh this dish is. It compliments all your summer grilling and uses up all those grilled meats!
