Made this and dropped some off to a bachelor friend. He called to say this was"Outstanding!" Asked me to copy the recipe and save to make again. I enjoyed as well and on thinking about the flavors decided to add a few pickled banana pepper rings to my bowl and that just enhanced the taste for me. Thanks for a great recipe!

I see no reason to try another pasta salad recipe. I'm not sure how it could be better than this. I followed the recipe as written, and it turned out fantastic. Thanks for the keeper.

I made this for a big group and it was a big hit. I used sundried tomatoes and green onions in place of fresh tomatoes and ball onion.

Great combination! I added a little extra veggies and cheese and included some diced muenster cheese since my husband loves it. Thanks for the recipe!
