I've made this recipe for years only, I use the multicolored pasta and as many colorful veggies as I could find! When I'm done its not only a tasty, healthful, salad (use lite dressing), but its a feast for the eyes!!!

I made this recipe several times. I am making it for the 4th of July for family Reunion. I added diced/chopped pepproni, black and green olives to it. Always use Kraft zesty Italian!! My whole family and friends Love it.

I was in a hurry and had to find something fast and good. This looked very good. It was done quickly and my kids loved it. They each had 3 servings!! This is definitely a keeper!!

I've made this type of pasta salad many times, however I use lite italian dressing to save some calories. And actually any fresh vegetable from the garden is an added treat.

I've making this recipe for some years now and its a great hit. I add sliced black olives and a few oregano leaves too for extra color

Sounds delicious, since I haven't tried it I rated it GOOD, I'll know better after I make it and take it to a 4th of July pool party. We'll see how it does, then I'll re-rate it.....

I have tried this twice - the 2nd time, I added crumbled feta cheese (instead of the Italian cheese) & cucumbers and omitted the basil- absolutely awesome. The Zesty Italian dressing is a must!! This is at it's best when it can be refrigerated for several hours.

THIS RECIPE IS SIMULAR TO MY PASTA SALAD. SO THAT MEANS THIS ONE IS REALLY GOOD ALSO.

This is an old favorite with my family. I add som cucumbers and also use a little Kraft Creamy Italian, it helps hold the Zesty onto the pasta better.

This is the easiest, tastiest Italian pasta salad recipe I have ever come across. This is one of my favorite summer dishes. I did tweak it a little by using corkscrew pasta in place of penne. It's just a personal preference.
