I thought this was really good, the broccoli and tomatoes are a nice addition and a nice change form your every day mac salad, I normally use cucumbers in mine. I dont know where the other posters lack of flavour came from. I did add pepper because I love it but the paprkia was a spicy paprkia so maybe that is why. I also used dijon mustard.

After letting it chill for 2 hours, I tasted this salad and didn't think that the dressing seemed to have a lot of flavor. I added additional onion and garlic, fresh ground black pepper, some diced green pepper and a bit of vinegar. It was better, but still not great. Even after the additions and chilling overnight, I still didn't really care for the salad. I don't know what was missing, but it needed something more.
