Summer penne salad

  Summer is here! How wonderful is that! Sunshine, fresh air, green grass, birds chirping, barbecue, friends getting together... I could go on and on about summer. Spending time outdoors as much as possible is on top of my list this summer, and a pasta salad helps with that! Quick to put together, easy to take along to a picnic or a barbecue, it just says 'summer'!
