Excellent! We added some cheese/garlic croutons on top of each serving. Other than that--it is the only thing we changed! Great for a HOT day! (like today!)

This was good it wasn't a favorite but it wasn't totally bad. I think it needed something and it was alittle to much dressing taste to me. I would try and cook it again and use alittle less dressing and add a different seasoning to it.

This was OK. To me it was a typical italian dressing pasta salad. I made it with the store bought , pre-cooked chicken. I will NEVER do that again. I don't like the flavor or texture of that chicken. I will grill the chicken next time. I will try it with other dressings. My husband thought it was good and my 5 year old like the broccoli, cheese and pasta.

Perfect salad for a summer day. Everyone commented on how good it was. Didn't add olives.
