Additional Notes: 

*Original recipe specified to use Wishbone (brand) Italian salad dressing, but I use Kroger brand and love it! :)

This recipe was passed to me from my friend Sheri, who got it from her sister Debby.

It was different than

It was different than the other Italian pasta salads I have tried.I
liked the combonation of veggies that were in it.I thought it needed a
littl more dressing.I used shredded parmesan cheese.I shared some with
the neighbors since it made a big batch and they liked it too.
