I made this pasta salad for Mother's Day and it was a huge hit!! Everyone enjoyed it, including my husband who is not a fan of pasta salad. I do want to make two suggestions. First, because I was taking this to a family get together, I felt the 6 servings shown on the original recipe would not be enough so I doubled it to 12 servings. Don't do that!! It turned out to be more like 30 servings. Also, I'm not a chef but I love to cook and the "Prep Time" of 30 minutes turned out to be more like 60 minutes!! Just something to keep in mind. Otherwise, thanks for a great recipe, Heather! This one is a keeper!!!

This was great! How unusual at first bite, but delicious. Didn't have any frozen corn so I thawed out frozen peas. I also used small pasta shells instead. Wonderful leftovers, too.

Oh, we all loved it!! I used black olives instead of green, b/c that is what I had. DELICIOUS!! I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old and both ate it up!

I make some changes when using this recipe, and then it turns out great. I slightly steam some carrot and add then for some added veggies. This would also be good and healthier with wheat pasta.

This salad tastes great! I made a few adaptations because I didn't have mushrooms or shredded cheese. I had mini bow-tie pasta on hand so I used that. Very tasty dressing! I'll make this again.

I doubled this recipe and served it for a meeting and also the family at home. Everyone enjoyed it and the kids liked the all the color created by the cheese, olives, green peppers, and corn. I didn't use the chicken broth - but I would recommend it for the boost of added flavor. Laura C.

What a great summer salad for the whole family. My 23 year old son, who is hard to please, loved this salad. I added a little more onions to fit our family tastes. This is what is great about this salad. You can adjust it to your own personal tastes.

I gave this recipe 5 stars in all categories except kid friendly. I don't have kids, but can't imagine they would care for it too much. My husband and I loved it, though. I substituted black olives instead of green and cut way back on the corn. Otherwise, the recipe was great and works out well for lunches to take to work for a few days. Thanks for the recipe Heather!
