I have an obsession with feta cheese and sun dried tomatoes so this recipe makes a great combination for me! What's more important is that my son is willing to eat this! He's become more picky these last few months and sometimes it's difficult to get him to eat his veggies but he really enjoys this salad.
I like to make a large amount of this pasta salad so we have more for leftover for the next day. It's even better the next day since the flavors have all had a chance to mingle together nicely.
