-Bake pecans at 350 degrees on baking sheet for 5-7 minutes or until toasted.
-Prepare pasta according to package directions.
-Cut broccoli florets into small pieces.
-Whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, sugar, and salt until well blended. Add broccoli, hot cooked pasta, and grapes. Mix together well, allow to chill for 3 hours. Put pecans into salad just before serving.
