Penne Pasta Salad

This is one of the salads that we had at our wedding reception. We got the recipe from my Mom's life long friend, Maridawn. Ever since our wedding, my food assignment is almost always this yummy salad. It makes quite a big salad so depending on how big the party is I will sometimes half the recipe. And another added bonus, it's pretty inexpensive if you have already got the spices that are in it. Once I make it again, which I am sure will be soon with all of the summer BBQ's coming up, I will take a picture and add it.
