French Macaroni Salad image

I went through many of the recipes posted and didn't see one quite like this- a french type dressing rather than the usual mayo base. Should be made ahead of time- my sister in law shared this one with me and we love it. I often use tri-colured pasta to make it even prettier.Of course, you can vary the types and amounts of vegetables used.
