This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover cucumbers and tomatoes that I needed to use up, and this salad was the perfect way to do it.

I wasn't sure how I would like cottage cheese in a pasta salad, but I was pleasantly surprised. It added a nice tanginess that balanced out the sweetness of the tomatoes.
