Monica's Penne Pasta Salad image

I created this pasta salad while I was a student at Penn State University. Inexpensive, healthy, delicious and is just as tasty as a leftover. You may add sliced chicken or turkey breast for a one dish meal!!

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based dressings, but this one is really good. It's light and tangy, and it doesn't overpower the other flavors in the salad.
