I wish the recipe had included instructions for making the dressing from scratch. I ended up using a store-bought dressing.

This pasta salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of fruit next time.

This pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some strawberries, blueberries, and grapes that were about to go bad, so I threw them into this salad and they were delicious!
