Mediterranean Pasta Salad

It's been quite a bit since my last post, apologies. With the wedding coming up in 99 days, things are starting to get even more busy by the minute. I made this pasta salad twice this summer, it's very simple and refreshing. Great for a picnic, a potluck or a quick lunch.
