    Asian Pasta Salad

    Spring is getting closer all the time...and so is picnic season! My favorite foods to take on a picnic are different types of salads.

    Several years ago, we visited the ultimate picnic spot: Sonoma Valley in California. It is gorgeous there! If you haven't been, go! When we first arrived, we stopped at the (very nice) welcome center. There was a counter of gourmet, picnic-type foods inside. I remember a pasta salad with Asian flavors. It was delicious and perfectly light for a Spring picnic day.

    I've recreated that dish from memory.
