Didn't use cheese, added sliced black olives. This is a great recipe and makes a good foundation for many more.

This makes a lot. This is a pasta salad that you can add anything that you like to it and it would be good. I added the green peppers but not the onions and used parmesan cheese instead of cheddar. I also used Dreamfield pasta as that is all I buy. I used a bottle of Kraft Zesty Italian. We all enjoyed this.

loved this for lunch, had some whole wheat macaroni to use up from the freezer, I used red, green and yellow peppers, green onion, grated carrot and bottled fat free Italian dressing. Added the grated cheddar when I served it. YUMMO!! great way to use up leftover bits in the fridge and pasta from the freezer! We will finish the rest with our burger for supper tonight. Thanks for posting.
