Great recipe. I needed to bring a salad to a dinner party & this worked well. I enjoyed the fresh vegys with the pasta & the flavours in the dressing were very tasty. We don't like our salad real creamy so I increased the pasta 1/2 oz. And, to cut some fat/calories I reduced the cheese 1/2 cup. This is a keeper, thanks for sharing.
