I made this today using campanelle because I couldn't find the radiatore this week. In fact, you could use just about any pasta shape for this salad. Bow ties would also be great. Can't wait to enjoy this later today.

This pasta salad sounds like a well-balanced combination on both flavor and texture. The colorful photo looks so appetizing. Toasted walnuts, olives, swiss cheese... Yum!
