This unique cast of characters makes a STAND OUT pasta salad! I'm not a big fan of the same old same old, so I was intrigued when I re-discovered this going through my recipe box (apparently, I added it YEARS ago). I finally made it today and it's delicious! I did add some more veggies to use some of what I had on hand, but the base is the same. I use light mayo w/olive oil and light sour cream for the dressing. We're also out of cider vinegar, so I used white, and I used yellow mustard in lieu of dijon per personal preference. I used all of the ingredients in the recipe, in addition to: shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, diced red bell pepper, chopped broccoli, and chopped banana peppers (I also added a splash of banana pepper juice to the dressing!). I used red grapes instead of green because the selection was better at the grocery store and I used mini sea shell pasta (measuring it to be 1 3/4 cups) because it caught my eye. I used a good aged cheddar and it does make a difference. DON'T LEAVE OUT THE GRAPES; they really help make the salad. It works; trust me, it works...THANKS BONGOBABE!

Very tasty! I used red grapes for color contrast. And in my error I used shredded cheese instead of diced cheese. I think the diced cheese would flow nicer and I will do that next time. The mustard in the dish is really differennt...I liked that surprise very much.

This recipe is absolutely delicious! Creamy yet has a little kick fromt he dijon mustard. So easy, I made it with my baby on my hip!!! ;D I substituted the grapes for raisins, and it worked well, giving the dish a chewy surprise here and there. Yum Yum Yum!!

I love this salad! My husband and I don't usually like cold pasta salads, but this one is delicious. I did omit the onions. I made it for a lunch and everyone loved it.

Wow after making hundreds of recipes from this website this is my first review. I was not too sure of the combination of this salad, but I was very very surprised that it turned out much better than I had hoped!!!!! I was looking for something to use up some grapes. I never seem to eat grapes after the first time and they always to to waste. So I tried this recipes and I will definately make again. I made it almost as written. My only changes were white vinegar, because I didn't have cidar, and med. cheddar...because of preference. I really think the sauce is what makes it great but also really love the great combination of ingrediance!!! YUM

This is awesome exactly as it is. I never have used the dill but everthing else is exact and it is soooooo addicting. I have also changed it up a bit with subbing the grapes for apples and the ham for smoked turkey and adding a little bacon and that is my daughters new favorite salad. This is a total keeper that I will make time and time again. I do like to use small shells instead of the farfalle, but that is just personal prefrence. Try this salad! Made exactly to the recipe you will not be dissapointed!
