Stephanie's Pasta Salad

About 7 or 8 years ago I was introduced to this salad. Now I don't want to over sell it or anything but I would say Perfection best describes it! If you know Stephanie Meadows you already know that she is a great cook so it is no wonder that this salad rocks. Every time I make it everyone raves. And if I hear that she is making it, well you can bet I am there. Only problem is that it is not exactly a wallet friendly salad. So only make it for the people you are trying to impress! Also make sure you make enough to have some for leftovers. Because this bad boy is going to get eaten.
