Skinny Spaghetti Summer Salad

So I just had a family get together for a couple family birthdays and also some family was in town from Santa Barbara. So I made a Summery meal. I made Beef Kabobs, An Avocado Blue Cheese Salad, Garlic Bread and this pasta salad. Recipes to come for all.

This salad is light, I suggest adding parmesan cheese but I avoided since my niece is Vegan. I make this with Whole Wheat Spaghetti however you can use with regular pasta.
