3 Pepper Pasta Salad

I have been meaning to make this pasta salad since I last had it at my Dad and stepmom's house. It was part of their leftovers from the night before, so for lunch, I had that and a salad. It is very yummy and refreshing, perfect to take with to a braai for everyone, vegans or non-vegans, to enjoy. I adapted my stepmom's recipe slightly by adding in beans for extra texture and protein. I'm sure you can add some peas or corn, as I paired this the other night with steamed sweet corn and spinach, and it was delish! Let me know what your combinations are in the comments so I can try them out.
