Such a simple, easy and great tasting salad.<br/>The whole family enjoyed this, and the only change I made was to omit the olives (family hate them) and use sun-dried tomatoes instead. The hardest part of making this recipe is cooing the pasta!!!! lol<br/>This is the perfect salad to serve on a hot summer's night and the colours just look great together.

This was a real hit at the barbecue lunch we went to today. I used kalamata olives and ordinary macaroni, and dressed the salad with my Recipe #204998 (no Wishbone in Australia). Your recipe has everything going for it -- great flavours, lovely colours, easy-to-make and perfect for a crowd. I think you could alter the yield to say it serves 10-12. Thanks for posting.

We really enjoyed this salad along with cheeseburgers for dinner. I used shell macaroni because I was out of rotini and left out the green peppers because 4 out of 6 family members dislike them. I added green olives along with the black to make up for it! I had to add a little extra dressing after it was refrigerated awhile because the pasta soaked it up. The salami and Parmesan add that extra little something that I don't usually use in pasta salad. Thanks for posting!

I thought that this was really nice and full of flavour. I found that it tasted better after sitting for a couple of hours though it was hard to wait. The only thing I changed was to use Leggy Peggy's Italian dressing recipe as I can't find Wishbone here in Greece, and it worked beautifully. Made for AUS/NZ Recipe Swap #50

Everyone really enjoyed this at our BBQ! I used red and yellow peppers instead of the green as that is what is ready in the garden right now. Also, added a bit more Parm, as we like things cheesy. This is a great pasta salad! Thanks for posting.
