I used Greek salad dressing instead of Italian because it sounded better with the Greek flavors in the salad. I definitely preferred this as a cold side dish. Great in the summer.

I live in Greece and made it for Greek people, and they loved it. You definately need to make it and chill it. Stir in the dressing before serving. I used my homemade feta, olives, and olive oil to make my own dressing, which makes it so good!!!

This is a refreshing substitute to classic pasta with marinara. I am pleasantly surprised with this recipe. It's light, fresh, super easy, quick, and full of flavor. Plus, it gets better as leftovers. What more can you ask for? To boost its health benefits, I used Ronzoni's Smart Taste pasta (I have recently found this and am in love...lots of fiber and calcium without the toughness of wheat pasta). I also used reduced-fat feta and italian dressing (I used a little bit more than 1/4 c.). Next time I might try fresh herbs, but it is great as is.

This was very good, thank you. I was looking for a warm recipe with cucumbers and pasta in it. I didn't have feta and used parmesan as another reviewer suggested. I also used canned organic tomatoes since I didn't have fresh.

I ate this hot and then ate the left overs cold and I liked the cold MUCH better. Still good hot, but I think eating it cold as a pasta salad made a big difference. I can't get used to the idea of warm cucumbers for some reason.

Definitely better as a cold pasta salad than it is warm.

This is just like a dish my mother in law makes but better!!! I loved it. I made it cold because I like that better on a hot Arizona summer day.

My husband and I love pasta salads, and this one was terrific. Because of dietary concerns, I substitute fat-free zesty Italian dressing and added onion and black olives. Very Yummy.

This pasta recipe is wonderful. It's so easy to make and very tasty. I've received many, many compliments from friends/family when I've served it. It's also easy to take on a picnic or other "bring a dish" type get together. Try this one you will really enjoy!

This was nice because I had everything on hand. I think next time I would add a few more ingredients though - olives or mushrooms or even just more tomato and cucumber. I liked the Italian dressing and feta was just the right touch. I'll make it again.
