Killer Pasta Salad image

Oil/vinegar based pasta salad, of my own creation. Good stuff. The carrots add a bit of sweetness, the sunflower seeds a nice crunch and nutiness, the garlic and herb seasoning ( I think it was Good Seasons brand) add a different kind of flavor, and the pasta a nice array of shapes and colors.I use one box of wacky shaped pasta like cellantani, and one box of Tri-colored rotini. This makes an enormous amount of pasta salad, so you might want to half the recipe. We live on this stuff in the summer.

This pasta salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less fruit or adding some more savory ingredients.

I found this pasta salad to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to give it more flavor.
