Layered Summer Pasta Salad

So Saturday we had plans to take Silas to Mt. Gretna lake. We were planning on having a picnic lunch there and I volunteered to bring some sort of a pasta salad. Well plans got changed when we realized we had to visit Paul’s dad in Abington Hospital. I had to make the pasta salad anyway because the rest of the family still went and they took the booger with them. 


I was searching online for a recipe that used one of the Suddenly Salad mixes since I have a gagillion of them from last week’s sale at Weis. Here’s the adapted recipe I used:
