Nice change from the "normal" pasta salad we are used to. Will be using this recipe again.

Good but a bit bland, even with the jalapenos. I would add more seasoning next time.

Nice change from mayo pasta salads, but it was missing something. I followed the directions to the letter. Wasn't spicy enough, maybe salt and Pepper should be added. I will try it again. I did use an English cucumber and it did not get soggy.

This was a pleasant change from mayo versions of a summer macaroni salad. I made some suggestes changes, V8 (hot) in place of tomato juice; toretlini in place of rotelli, did use less than 1/2 bunch of cilantro; increased limes juice used juice from two fresh limes; left out cuke it became too soggy on first try substituted garbanzo beans and also tried fresh summer squash. Will use it again!

This was very good. I included a package of cheese tortellini, cilantro and grated parmesan. I replaced the tomato juice with spicy V8. It had a great flavor and was very pretty.

Very tasty. Lots of compliments. A different twist on the traditional. I added the Bloody Mary Mix and cilantro as suggested.

A very tasty and different way to use abundant garden vegetables. I did not add the fresh jalapeno but mixed in some hot giardiniera along with its pickling juice. It added a good amount of zest to both the salad and the dressing. This salad makes a pretty presentation in a glass with a little of the tomato juice dressing at the bottom.

I was very disappointed in this recipe. I used the salsa instead of tomato juice and added some yellow and red peppers. After cooking the pasta it was very firm, but when I served the salad it was very soft. I made it a day before serving it and I guess the acid from the salsa cooked it more. This is one of the first recipes from this site I have been disappointed in.

What a nice recipe, Jeffandrew~ It was so good that I just kept going because company was going to pop in and I needed a meal. I just added shrimp and Cheese Tortellini, adjusted with some Spicey V-8 and other goodies to suit my garlic loving tastebuds and we had a stretched-out winner. Ran out and picked up a couple of hot Rotisserie Chickens and some Garlic Bread - it looked like I worked all day. Very easy on ME! It's a keeper. Thanks~

I made this for my Memorial Day cookout, and it was good. I used Spicy V8 juice instead of tomato juice, and also added a jar of chipotle salsa. I still found it to be bland, but my guests raved over it.

Man is this good! The flavors meld together better than I expected. I followed everything as written, but I did add about a third of a bunch of chopped fresh cilantro. Delicious, I'll be making this again and again I'm sure! Thanks.

I made this with red onion as well as green, English cucumber, and V8 tomato juice. I also thought it was a bit bland so I added a pinch of ground cumin and some Adobo seasoning which really improved it. Good stuff. Thanks, Cheryl!

I only made a half batch and I ended up putting 2 TBSP of jalapeno salsa into it. Even that didn't do much good. to quote my husband, "This is not a keeper".

This was kind of bland. I made it exactly as written except for using spicy V8 and it was still boring. Will make a different pasta salad next time.

This is one of my favorite recipes and I make it exactly like the recipe says. I do toss the pasta with oil right after I drain it, which might help reduce the absorption of the dressing. It's important to use canned tomato juice (such as Campbell's) because it's thicker. When I use the leftover liquid/juice from a can of tomatoes, the dressing isn't good. One time I was eating this for lunch and my friend said it smelled "so good."

I made this recipe but i didn't have any Tomato juice so I doctored it up a little by making a more runny tomato sauce with spices, tomato paste and water. I still used 6 oz's but it came out great!!! And I used more lime juice than the recipe called for.
