Whole wheat pasta is available in health food stores across the country and in the natural food sections of many supermarkets. Any variety of whole wheat pasta is good, but miniature shells or alphabet shapes are best.
Good served with sliced cold meats or barbecued chicken or meat.
This salad can be prepared several days in advance, covered and refrigerated. The flavor improves upon standing.
