Store covered in refrigerator till ready to serve.I put this together one day, just because I wanted pasta salad, but the calorie count is so high in regular pasta salad. I served this with grilled chicken breast. The calorie total sounds like alot, but when a serving size is about 2 cups it pretty good, so you could easily cut the serving size in half if you find it to high and make it 6 servings. Also it is easily doubled when you have a larger group to feed. As is it makes 3 - 2 cup servings, enjoy.Number of Servings: 3Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ALISSAB2.
