This tasty and attractive salad was my contribution to our recent family reunion. I added a half pound each cubed Genoa Salami & cubed Provolone. Three packets of Ranch Dressing felt like too much, so I halved it to 1 1/2 packets. I put everything together the night before using 3/4s the total amount of dressing. The next day the salad was still nice & moist, so I left off the remaining portion of dressing. Thank you for sharing a great salad recipe!

I made this today to try it out on my family before I had it at an upcoming graduation party.Really good! The only thing i did different was just added the ranch dressing mix(dry) at the end.I'll make this again.Thanks!

I LOVED the flavor that the Ranch seasoning added. It really made this feel so substantial and satisfying. It's different kick, but not a major departure from traditional Italian dressing. This is my favorite pasta salad now.

DH said tremendous! He kept talking about it all night. We both loved it and will make it many times in the future. This wonderful salad went great with Italian Burgers With Salami & Mozzarella.

This was good, but not my favorite. I cut way down on the oil, and I still felt it was pretty oily. I thought it could have used more veggies in proportion to how much pasta there was. The flavor of the dressing was tasty, but I guess I was expecting to be like, "WOW!" when I tasted it--and that wasn't my reaction. I'm not sure if I will make this again, without some serious modifications.

This is THE BEST pasta salad I have ever eaten! I made mine with tri color spirals (12 oz), so I only used about 3/4 of the dressing. This is a new favorite! Thanks so much!

Very tasty pasta salad! I used angel hair (next time I'll break the pasta into fourths, just for ease of serving/eating.) I followed the recipe exactly except for making only 1/2. I think this would be a big hit at summertime picnics! Thanks for the great recipe. =]

This is fabulous! Just what I was looking for. Finally a great tasting pasta salad that doesn't use mayo. I used angel hair pasta and I'm pretty sure I will stick with that. I did not use any green or yellow peppers since my family doesn't like them. I love them; however, and can see that they would add great flavor. But this was great without them, too. I used all of the dressing and I thought the amount was fine. This does make a lot and we had leftovers from our gathering so I had it again the next day. After 48 hours, I thought there was too much dressing. So eat up the first time! :) Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

A nice variation on pasta salad--I heeded other reviews and didn't use all of the dressing at once. After marinating the required hours, it still didn't seem like it needed more dressing. We liked it!

Super YUMMY! We really enjoyed this salad. I did a bit of a variation. I used green peppers, green onions, roma tomatoes, cucumbers, pepperoni, & cubed cheddar cheese. The dressing is a nice change from just plain italian dressing. Thanks for posting!

We all liked this. Other's posted they thought it was too much oil, we all thought it was the perfect amount. The oil kept it from gettign dry the next day.
Will make it again for sure!!

This is a very pretty salad! Tastes great, too. I used angel hair pasta, but next time I will probably use the rotini for easier mixing. This also made a lot of dressing, which is fine with me since I like my pasta salad drenched!

This is my favorite pasta salad ever. I use the angel hair pasta because I think the texture of the end product is awesome. This is unlike any other pasta salad I've ever had!

THis was excellant!! I took it to a family get-together and everybody loved it:) I did cut back on the seasoning, only added 2 packets of ranch and didn't quite pour it all on. But it was very good, I loved the flavor of all the crisp veggies!

As written, I felt this recipe was super strong in the seasoning department. I didn't even pour in the full amount and I still went back and rinsed about a 3rd of my pasta off. I would suggest halving the dressings (or if you're feeding an army, double everything else :) Once I'd made my adjustments, the pasta was good. I added cubed cheddar right before serving.

Took this to a family reunion this weekend and it was a hit! I added some fresh basil, ommitted the olives (personal preference) and added some extra pasta and an extra 1/2 packet of ranch seasoning (b/c of the extra pasta). Turned out great. Will definitely make this one again! :)

LOVE IT!! This is one (if not the one) of the best pasta salad recipes I have ever put into my mouth!!I have been making it for a little over a year now, but I lost the recipe and I had to jump back up here and get it. I saw that a few people put reviews up that were not so good...i suggest that they give this wonderful recipe one more try! Whats not to love??
