Yummy Fruit 'n' Pasta Salad image

This is my take on the recipe that is usually printed on the box of Acini de Pepi. It has become one of our favorites. I even will eat the left-overs for breakfast. You can substitute the mandarin orange juice instead of the pineapple juice. Prep time includes letting it set overnight in the fridge.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the combination of fruits and pasta is always a winner. I like to add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more substantial meal.
