Share a Spoon: Pesto Rotini

I'm playing along with Think Tank Momma's Share a Spoon this week. Go here to check her out and get some delish recipes.

The theme this week is lunch. Often, MB and I eat a big meal for our lunch because of our schedules. Occasionally, when I'm on day shift, we can eat normal lunch like meals. This is one of my favorite pasta salad recipes. It's nice and light with a lot of flavor. It's quite a hit at cookouts too. It's also a Weight Watchers recipe.

Enjoy.
