ARTICHOKE AND PASTA SALAD

Artichoke and Pasta Salad image

From Cooking Light magazine. I LOVE cold salads in the summertime. This one is exceptional. I often use the artichokes hearts in the jar with olive oil and spices already in it. You may need to adjust for that unless using the plain hearts.
