Very tasty pasta salad. I used dill instead of sweet, just a personal preference, everyone thought it very well lived up to its name!!

This one really lived up to the reviews! I will say that my husband only thought it was ok, because he is not a big pickle fan. However, I loved it and brought the rest into work and it was a really big hit -- great for hot weather meals. I did not use peppers, only because I don't like them -- I substituted celery instead. And it really does make a TON. Thanks!

I followed this recipe as written (which I rarely do) and actually found that the pasta salad made too much dressing!! By the next day, it was too "juicy". My DH did love the flavor, though, so I will probably make again & omit the pickle juice altogether.

Excellent pasta salad. DO NOT OMIT the beef bouillon. I tasted the dressing before adding then after adding the bouillon and even shook in a bit more. This salad is definitely more than 6 servings. I can see adding any veggie you want. This is a keeper, for sure!

One of the best pasta salads I ever made. Easy and oh so tasty. I sustituted pickle relish for the pickles, and added a dollop of hot sauce for zip. Worked just fine. Warning, the recipe states it serves 6; it makes a TON of pasta salad. I would call it 10 servings. That said, anybody who has tasted this has asked for the recipe.

This was very good BUT loaded with fat. I made a few modifications which really did not make a difference. I used 1/2 cup of mayo, 1/2 cup of no-fat yogurt and 1/2 cup of lite sour cream. No one could tell the difference. Thanks for sharing, I will make this one again!!

This is my NEW FAVORITE POTLUCK DISH! Any recipe that you make the day before an event is PERFECT in my opinion. The flavors take about 12 hours to really get "happy", but it remained crisp and fresh tasting. I followed the recipe 100% according to directions except for using a sweet onion instead of the red one. The WallaWalla sweet onion was what I had on hand. I doubled the recipe...and I had enough to feed an army...lololol Not one drop was left over!

This is the best of the best... I may have reviewed this a few years ago but I'm not sure... I have been making this for a few years now for a hot weather meal, and no one seems to tire of it... I always use sweet pickle relish in the dressing along with the picle juce.. I have made it with dill and dill relish also as I have a friend who prefers dill rather than sweet... Eather way it is a wonderful hot weather main dish... This is my favoreite recipe form this site and I have tried a lot of them.... LANIEBABE

Everyone in my family really liked this recipe. I didn't have sweet pickles so I used bread and butter pickles and they worked out fine. I'll make this again when I have leftover ham!!

Awsome is right! I made this up and have been eating it for lunch and it just gets better. My family doesn't like sweet pickles, so I used sweet pickle relish instead. But I have to wonder, what am I missing by not having that 1/2 cup pickle juice to put in the salad. The next time I make this salad (and there WILL be a next time!), I'm going to buy a jar of sweet pickles specifically to put in here. If its this good when NOT following the recipe exactly, how good will it be when I do? Thanks for the recipe.

This is the best pasta salad! We made a few changes to suit our taste - omitted the tomatoes altogether, substituted green onions for red and ditalini pasta for ziti, used only red peppers, and used sweet pickle relish instead of pickles. I thought the dressing sounded weird with the bouillon but it's fabulous! I agree with another reviewer that it looks like too much dressing at first but the next day it's got a great texture. Thanks so much for this recipe!
