At first, the pasta came out kind of bland. So I added two tablespoons of lite Italian dressing, another tablespoon of red wine vinegar, and more salt and pepper. It was still a bit bland; but my boyfriend liked it.

This is great! You can use any kind of pasta, it doesn't matter, and it will turn out great. I used a 3-pasta mix and it was wonderful. I made it the first time and followed the recipe exactly; here is what I have learned. When it says to refrigerate for 2-3 hours only do 1 hour. Put the rest of the goodies in and then do another hour in the refrigerator. This gives the broccoli, tomatoes, and pepperoni (or salami, I have used both they are just as good) time to soak in the olive oil and vinegar which makes it all the better in my opinion. Enjoy!

This recipe was just okay. I made a double batch for a potluck picnic. Except for using cider vinegar because I was out of wine vinegar and using part whole wheat pasta, I followed the recipe as written. Seems like it could have used more dressing so the broccoli would soak up more. Flavor was good, though.

This was great! I used mini fresh mozzarella balls instead of shredded. Next time I may use fresh basil as well. Thanks!

We love this salad. I made a few changes: replaced veggie oil with olive oil and reduced it to 1/3 cup, used whole wheat rotini, and replaced the pepperoni with hard salami.

Amazing recipe! Suggestions: use light olive oil instead of veg oil. I threw in sun dried tomatoes (in place of fresh), artichokes and pine nuts. It turned out great!

We liked the little bit of spice to this. I didn't have macaroni noodles, so I used bow ties and it was very good. We're also not much of tomato eaters, so I substituted green & red peppers. I cut each pepperoni slice in half to make it go farther. This is added to my recipe box!

Excellent! I always wondered what I could use the red wine vinegar, considering I'm a new 'cook', and it was fabulous!

A little "vinagery" for my taste and it seemed like a bit too much pepperoni, but it was really good, pretty easy and got good reviews.

I thought this was a pretty good recipe, I used rotini pasta because I had it in the house. Good overall flavor. Also a side note to a previous review, antipasto does not mean without pasta, it is an adaptation of the word antipasti meaning appetizer in Italian, which this sort of dish is often served as.

Great pasta salad but my family didn't like the sauce for the salad. I poured a little House Italian dressing over it and they loved it.

Great picnic pasta salad that everyone will like! I would suggest using just a little more dressing or a little less pasta for a good balance. I don't enjoy this left over -- it gets too dry.
