Delicious, simple salad, however, I did alter the measurements of a few ingredients. I decided to use whole grain pasta and the box was 13.5 ounces so I used a 10 oz box of peas, 1 small red onion, 1 cucumber, 1 1/2 c reduced fat sharp cheddar ( had some on hand that had to get used) and a 16 oz bottle of reduced fat ranch dressing. It turned out perfect! I don't care for creamy pasta salads, I usually go with a vinagrette base and we really enjoyed this. As written, I believe this salad is going to be a bit dry. I had a tough time deciding how to rate this, but I don't want to be unfair. As long as I listed the changes I made I don't feel bad. The sweetness of the peas add a wonderful touch to this salad. I do plan to make this using regular pasta and dressing during the summer months for picnics and BBQ'S. Again, we truly enjoyed this and I don't think any other seasoning needs to be added with these changes. Thank you for sharing this :)
