This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I like to make it on Sunday and then eat it for lunch throughout the week.

I made this salad for a picnic and it was perfect! It's light and refreshing, and the dressing is tangy and flavorful.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover penne. I also like to add some chopped walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.
