Comments
This recipe is from Life’s Ambrosia and has some of my favorite ingredients.  I decided to make it for lunches during the week because neither Art nor Lance care for avocados.  I greatly enjoyed this pasta salad, but the dill added a flavor that didn’t mesh well for me.  I think that, next time, I’ll omit the dill.  The pasta will certainly be flavorful enough without it!
