sister My sister Becky got this recipe from her boyfriend’s mother the other day. She made a big batch of it to serve at her boyfriend Matt’s birthday party and I just had to have a taste. Well after trying this amazing salad I just had to have a go at making it on my own. I made a few slight alterations it turned out so good that we had to blog about it of course. This is not your ordinary pasta salad. I am a huge sun dried tomato fan and am seriously in love with this pasta salad.  It would make the perfect addition to any summer barbecue.
