OMG... The day in Ohio was 103 and I was working outside and I said I am not making anything hot to eat!!! I wanted pasta and started looking for a cold pasta main dish; I found this one. It was wonderful I added some shrimp quick saute with a little hot spice rub and chilled the shrimp, added that to the recipe with a little wine vinegar and chilled the entire recipe and it was outstanding!! Thank you Chef Jeff!

Just 2 of us for this dish, so I cut it in half! Also left out the optional red pepper flakes, but otherwise the recipe was followed & the salad was very satisfying! Easy to prepare, too, which is another plus! Many thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's round of Pick A Chef]
