Tuscan Pasta Salad Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pasta Salad Recipes. (Tuscan Pasta Salad Recipe). A flavorful diversion from the run-of-the-mill Italian pasta salad. I like to serve this with grilled, fried, or barbecued chicken, and a crusty artisan bread. I would double the portions if you want to have leftovers when serving 4 or more; this goes fast in my home! Enjoy!
