Kara's Summer Salad

Servings:

Kara's summer salad recipe is a refreshing and fulfilling pasta salad that has enough protein to be eaten alone as a small meal. The ingredients are more unique and sometimes healthier than those in many other macaroni salad dishes. I recently created this in my own kitchen.
