Mediterranean Pasta Salad

Two things I love: Mediterranean food and pasta salad. I made this recipe for a Blender Bombs team dinner this week and we loved it! It was great for a big group and perfect for a hot summer dinner party. I love all of the color in this dish and this pasta is really yummy!
