I made a major change: I don't like sweet pasta salad, so I used only 1 1/2 Tbsp. of sugar for a double batch of the dressing. I liked the tart taste. Very different. This was pretty good, and so easy!

I like the taste of this salad. I thought the rest of the family would too because they love cukes & onions. But it didn't go over well with them, thats why I gave 3 stars. But I enjoyed it!

I loved this! Very easy to make. I added extra dressing to let it marinate in overnight. Turned out delightful! I cubed the cukes and added black olives. Thanks!!

Very nice pasta salad, although I think it needs a little more of the dressing... it's slightly on the dry side. Scaling down to 1 serving, I reduced the sugar to 1 tablespoon instead of 3, and used mustard seeds instead of prepared mustard, which I didn't have. Next time I'll chop the cucumbers instead of slicing them. Thanks for this one, I'm definitely hanging on to it!
