I really like the dressing for this salad. The 1st time I ate it almost immediately after preparing and found the taste good but kind of strong. It was definately better the next day. I made the recipe exactly as stated except I skipped the peppers due to personal preference. I think this recipe would be great with shrimp, ham, or just keeping it vegetarian and adding the veggies of your choice. A great picnic salad!

Very tasty. I used salad size shrimp instead of crab cuz that's what I had. I thought the dressing lacked a little flavor - could have been just a bit more robust but overall a great pasta salad for everyone.

I have made this twice in one week because it was requested after the first BBQ I took it to. Everyone loved it. The first time I made it exactly as the recipe states and it was a hit, the second time I made it with large shell pasta and extra dressing (mostly because the pasta was bigger) and instead of green onions (because I didn't have them) I used finely chopped red onion. I also added a little extra parmigiana cheese. WOW I've never had so many compliments... Will make this again and again!!!

This salad was the best. We live on an island and creamy Italian salad dressing was not available to me so I used Ceasar and it was great. I can't wait to get back to the states and try it with Italian.

This recipe was delicious! My fiance gobbled down the leftovers before they even made it into the fridge. I could not find any cherry tomatoes at the store so I just cut up a regular tomato which seemed to work just fine. I also substituted regular mayo for half the fat and regular Italian dressing for fat free and had zero complaints. I definitely recommend this recipe and will be making it again and again!!!

Very good pasta salad! I used bow tie pasta and omitted the green peppers and green onions and added carrots. Also subsituted 1/2 the mayo for fat free sour cream.

After reading the reviews, I decided to make this salad for a reception this past weekend. WOW!!! It was easy to make,although a little time consuming (I did blanch the broccoli and used red, yellow,and green peppers for added color. The dressing I used was Kraft's creamy Italian - 1/4 C.) Everyone thought the salad was delicious and it was gone before I was able to get a second helping - Usually, I'm not a fan of crab, imitation or otherwise, but there's just something about this combination of ingredients, I guess! I plan to make this again and highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you!!!

Not crazy about seafood but decided to try it - enriching my culinary horizons. Easy to make, tasty, not to 'fishy' tasting - I liked it! Key to recipe is the absolute ease in putting it together. Didn't have time to let it sit in the fridge - even so, very flavorful!
