We did not care for this. There was too much sauce and the flavor of the sauce was overwhelming and had a funny taste to it. I think it just had too much going on. The spiral noodles also picked up a lot of sauce on each noodle making it more over-powering. I'm sorry this wasn't our favorite. Thank you for giving me something new to try.

What a find! I had a little boiled shrimp and some cocktail sauce left over from Easter dinner, as well as the remnants of a veggie tray with the accompanying dip. This recipe made it possible to 'recycle' everything in one delicious dish! I didn't bother chopping fresh parsley since the ranch dressing already had a ton in it, but I did slice a couple of celery sticks just to use them up. We thought the little bit of crunch added nice texture. I had made the cocktail sauce with a very generous amount of horseradish, and I agree with another reviewer that it really enhanced the flavor of this salad. Thanks for turning our leftovers into a lovely meal, Tootsie!
