The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of cheese. I found the feta to be a bit too strong.

This winter fruit and pasta salad was a refreshing and flavorful twist on a classic pasta salad. The combination of sweet fruit, tangy dressing, and salty cheese was perfect.
