Garlic Pasta Salad image

Don't let the simplicity of this recipe fool you. The taste is fantastic. I first tried it as a sample at the H.E.B. grocery store in my neighborhood. Of course they were promoting purchase of a bottle of Garlic Essence Vinaigrette. I've found you can use any basic garlic vinaigrette, bottled or home made, and have a similar result.
