Pine Nut Pasta Salad

Recipe #298114 | 15 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: clashcity19

This is a recipe I got from a friend of my mother's. It is a very light and tasty variation on standard pasta salad. The pine nuts add a rich hearty flavor. The recipe is very versatile; you can add more veggies or remove them and it would still be delicious. This is the variation I like best.
