I left out the olives since I don't care for them. This was a very easy dish to prepare so great after work recipe. It makes a good carry-in dish too.

I have made this twice. The second time I used balsamic vinagrette dressing and it was even better than the italian

Excellent dish for an easy summer dinner. The salad dressing gave it a nice zing, and it got great reviews at the dinner table.

We really enjoyed this dish. We had it for dinner on a hot summer day. I was pleased that it really is enough for 4 people!

This recipe was really nothing special, very bland and not my kind of recipe. I have had better pasta salad out of a box, and don't plan on making this again.

My sister introduced it to my daughters and me, and I've made it several times in the past month. Sometimes we add something - like artichokes and/or asparagus!
