This was just ok for us. Apart, we like all the ingredients in this salad, but together it was just ok. I did try half with the blue cheese and half with the Italian dressing and preferred the Italian over the blue cheese. I thought the blue cheese dressing was to heavy and rich for the salmon. Thanks for sharing befg.

I followed the recipe exactly using homemade smoked salmon-- I think if I make it again, I will try substituting Italian dressing for the blue cheese. The pasta needed a little more flavor & i think that would do the trick. As is, still good though.

Yum! I followed the recipe as closely as my pantry allowed, but had to substitute sundried tomatoes in oil for the fresh tomatoes. Used coarsely grated blue cheese with oil and red wine vinegar. Added chopped Vidalia onion. The flavors balance nicely. This is a recipe that can take some tinkering to suit individual tastes.

I used Zesty Italian dressing and threw some lemon pepper on the salmon, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. My boyfriend, who generally hates vegetables, salads, healthy stuff, etc, even loved this dish. Salmon is always so filling to me for some reason...I think that's why it goes so well with vegetables, as opposed to an equally as filling side dish or something. Thanks for the recipe!

My family really liked this! I was surprised that even the youngest ate it. I'd like it more with extra peppers and tomato. I also added extra chunks of Bleu Cheese and mixed it all together instead of just layering it. I'll make this again for sure and might add olives

I seasoned the vegetables before I added them to the pasta. I also doubled the recipe. It tastes even better the next day.

OK, but heavy using pasta. Will change to spinach for a lighter salad & use more tomato, cuc & red pepper. We used Roasted Red Pepper with Parmesan dressing & feta cheese. The feta gave it a much needed flavor. My husband smoked a piece of salmon & it was wonderful in the salad.

This salad had a great combination of ingredients and a nice flavor. We tried it with blue cheese dressing and it was just "okay" but when we used italian dressing it was excellent. Thanks for the yummy recipe!
