I decided to make it and bring it along for a side dish with our campout dinner. Ummmm, this pasta salad never made it to the campout. I ate the entire batch in less than 24 hours! Don’t judge me . . . I got hungry while prepping for the campout. That’s a lot of work! So we had hot dogs and marshmallows for dinner instead.
