This a great salad for dinner or picnic. I did use a bag of spinach and Kraft Roasted Red Pepper Italian Dressing (previous review) so we had a complete meal in one dish.

This dish is awesome!!! If you want a boost of extra flavor, then use garlic and herb feta as well as smoked sun-dried tomatoes. Yum!!!

This was very tasty! I used a little more dressing so it wasn't dry. This is great hot or cold the next day~

This was good not really good though. I used the ATHENOS Crumbled Feta Cheese with Basil & Tomato. Will make it again but will use more dressing. Was a bit on the dry side.

Excellent! Omitted the onions and sundried tomatoes. Used 1 qt cherry tomatoes, 6 oz. sundried tomato feta, 1/2 bottle Kraft parmesan roasted red pepper italian dressing and added 1 bag baby spinach. Best served warm. Served at picnic and was a hit--everyone asked for the recipe.

I absolutely love this pasta salad! PERFECTION! The only tip I can add is that I like to add extra fetta cheese and also I use more of the good seasons Italian dressing than the recipe called for. However, the recipe is still great without the extra!!

I made this recipe exactly as directed (although I could not find sun dried tomatoes that were not packed in oil,) and I loved it and so did my family! I would definitely make this again!! Very tasty!!

Absolutely delicious! I didn't use the sun dried tomatoes, just added more fresh ones. Thought it was even better when pasta was served slightly warm or at room temperature. It's a keeper and so easy to make.
