Gluten Free Pasta Salad image

A light and tasty pasta salad treat great for any occasion. It's so good you can substitute wheat pasta for your non GF friends (but why, they'll never know if you don't tell them!) Note: For best results use Tinkyada brown rice spirals. This rice pasta is very easy to prepare and tolerant of overcooking without becoming mushy.
