I've made this twice now and both times, it was wonderful. The first time, I made it exactly as written. The second time, I used Newman's Own Balsamic Vinigarette and honestly, I liked it better with the bottled dressing -- just seemed less oily and tasted better for leftovers. Either way, it's a delicious salad and will be my go-to pasta salad recipe from now on. Thank you!!!

Great recipe. I use provolone instead of Asiago cheese.

A good basic pasta salad. I used fusilli. I was (personally...) not crazy about the dressing, or all the asiago cheese. I'd make the same salad again with a different dressing and maybe change the cheese, maybe to mozzerella diced and parmesan in slivers.

This was a big hit and I have made it many times. The various flavors blend nicely. Like previous reviewers suggested, I used white balsamic. I also used sundried tomatoes and added artichokes. Delicious!

I made this recipe, using the suggestion to try Newman's Own Light Balsamic Dressing, mozzerella & parmesan and it was delicious! I served it at my husband's surprise 40th birthday & it got rave reviews. I have made it several times since :)) Thank you!

Nice recipe, I used tricolored corkscrew pasta, and little extra balsamic vinegar, used fresh mozzarella and not Asiago. Very tasty and easy to make. I did find that if you eat it as leftovers you need to add more of the balsamic vinegar

Made this for tailgating as a change from my usual macaroni salad. The hubbie and I thought it was just "ok" and needed some more flavor or something.

I made this with the "Summer Tomato Salad" and "Rotisserie Chicken" for a summer dinner party and it was a hit! One of my guests was diabetic, so all three dishes fit the bill. The only changes I made were to use whole wheat pasta instead of white and bottled Italian dressing (my grocery store had no dry mix). I used about 3/4 cup of dressing and omitted the oil. I still added the balsamic cause I love it! This made a LOT of salad...so I'm glad it was so good!

My mom hates cold pasta salads of any kind but she raved about this one. Only changes I made was to add 2 minced cloves of garlic. Was better after it sat for a day or two, as well.

Very good. Made for a family dinner. Used extra cheese and meat and tri-color spiral pasta. Very good the next day as well.

Made it for a salad potluck, everyone loved it. My husband is not a pasta salad fan, but he raved over it and ate it for lunch & dinner the following day. I added a little more vinegar than stated, but that is just a personal preference.

This is excellent! Made it for my daughters lunch for school. She made sure I packed it everyday. Stuck to the recipe except; instead of dry salad dressing mix and balsamic vinegar I used Newmans Light Balsamic Vinegrette. I also used fresh herbs. The Asagio cheese makes the whole dish come together in my opinion. Already on the menu for next week! Thanks!

I made this for my son's birthday party. It was a total hit!!! I made it only with salami, not need for pepperoni too. Added cauliflower for a little crunch and also added a can of chopped artichokes. I also added large chunks of mozzeralla cheese, instead of Asiago, along with some grated parmeson to coat everything. I also added sliced black and green olives. Soo good! I would maybe use white balsamic vinegar next time. Really loved it!!!!

I wasn't impressed with this salad. It was very expensive and not worth the money. I felt it was a bit bland. My fiance however, thought it was delicious and can't get enough. That is why I gave it three stars.

This recipe is soooo wonderful. The best I have ever had. When I made it I was out of black olives and asiago cheese. I used calamada olives and mozzarella instead. Everyone I make it for just LOVES it! Thanks for the great recipe!
