This is a great recipe! I didn't put a whole bottle of dressing in it, as half of bottle was more than enough. To make it even more heartier, I added some cubed chicken. Highly recommend!

The recipe name fits this dish perfectly, it is so good! I used red and yellow bell pepper as well as the green, because I only had a half of green pepper on hand. I also used grape tomatoes that I halved instead of the cherry tomatoes. Those were the only slight modifications I made, otherwise I didn't change a thing. Great recipe, Desiree!

This recipe was really good, however the amount of italian dressing is not enough if you are going to let the salad sit overnight. At my husband's request, I added some broccoli and some carrots and omitted the olives and pepper. I found that after sitting overnight it was a bit dry, so I suggest adding more italian dressing right before serving so it is to your liking. That's the only reason this received 4 stars instead of 5.

This was wonderful. I did add 1/3 cup sugar to the dressing. I didn't have any red onions, so just used green onions instead. The third time I made it I didn't use garlic in the dressing and you couldn't tell the difference. I HIGHLY recommend this! I also chopped everything up, including the pepperoni and olives, just makes it easier to fork!

This a favorite summertime recipe that I love to take to picnics! I omit the pimentos, and I add black olives, pepperoncini peppers, and a combination of fresh mozzarella and provolone cheeses. I use Ken's Steak House light Northern Italian dressing, it's wonderful in this!

This is pretty easy and good, but I didn't think it was great. Just needed a little more zing. I did use fat-free dressing, but the Wishbone is fairly zesty and is what I use for everything, so I don't think that's it. And I don't think just adding more dressing is what is needed. There's something else... don't know.

Really lovely pasta salad! I didn't give it 5 stars because I've changed it a bit - I use tri-color pasta, keep the meat the same, do half provolone cubes and half colby jack (a family favorite) and add olives and use a yellow and a red bell pepper. Light and delicious any time of year!

This recipe rocks. I add another bottle of dressing right before I serve it, just to give it a more "wet" appearance. Otherwise most of it soaks in and it looks like there isn't anything on it. This is a perfect pasta salad, the addition of the meat and cheese makes it a meal in itself!

This was a very good pasta salad recipe and easy to adjust to your own taste. I highly recommend you use an Italian dressing you LOVE, and then you just can't go wrong. I didn't have any of the meats and my family still enjoyed it!

I loved this salad. It's so versatile. I didn't have pepperoni, so I doubled up on the salami. I used plain old elbow macaroni too and it was great! Thanks!

This is probably a recipe you grow to like more every time you try it. We liked it but it was different for us. I had company for supper and they all preferred the other salad I made witch is Sue’s Taco Salad from this site.
