Tiki's Pasta Salad image

My son is a picky, picky eater and when I make this he eats it all! Every last piece. There is never any leftovers. Its easy and simple! We have taken it to parties, camping trips, picnics and have it at home about once a week. It is a huge hit and I am always handing out the recipe! Great with garlic bread in a work lunch too!!!! :) Enjoy!
