Patchwork Quilt Pasta Salad image

This is one of the best tasting pasta salads I have ever had. My family and in-laws love it and I can never make enough. You can change or substitute the ingredients in the salad if you'd like to. This salad is best when prepared a day ahead.

I'm not a huge fan of pasta salads, but this one is a game-changer. The flavors are so well-balanced and the textures are perfect. I love the crunch of the vegetables and the creaminess of the cheese.

This pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of veggies in my fridge that are about to go bad, so this is a great way to use them up and avoid food waste.
