This recipe is worth trying just for the dressing. I was skeptical, but it really is quite good. I prefer more veggies and fresh herbs, but the basic sauce here is perfect for adjusting to your own tastes.

Really good basic recipe! Couldn't give it the full 5 stars though; I followed everything the recipe said, and it just didn't taste right... So I added more minced garlic, about a tbsp of garlic salt, more pepper and sea salt, as well as about 3 tbsp of dried Italian seasoning. Then I mixed in about 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan. Amazing!

I liked it and brought it to a NYE party. Unfortunately, there was plenty left over and in the trash it went. I dont know why people didnt like it more. I did use 1 cup of mayo and 1 cup zesty Italian dressing, and the next morning had to use more as it was dry. Keep searching for the perfect pasta salad.

Sorry, but amazed how many great reviews this has received. To us it is a very ordinary and commercial buffet type salad - again sorry for the rating, but it just does not have anything that stands out - the only saver is the fresh basil.

I truly love this recipe. I am not cold pasta eater but with the zip of the red wine vinegar makes. I personally add more red wine vinegar and also add green onions and peppercinos.

I doubled everything except the mayo and it was perfect. Brought to a bridal shower, and got so many compliments. I've made it a few times since then, everyone loves it!

This pasta salad was excellent. I followed the base of the recipe but used carrots and celery instead of tomatoes and olives. The garlic is such a great addition to this pasta salad. Even though it is raw, it is not overpowering and adds just the right amount of garlicy flavor. I made this for a cookout and got rave reviews from guests. Even a very picky eater (who never eats pasta salad) ate and enjoyed it. My husband took leftovers for lunch the next day and got many comments about how good it looked and smelled. I will definately be making this again and again!

An amazing pasta salad! I still have leftovers from a get-together (because there was a LOT of food)... but it is great and I will definitely share the leftovers. I'll make this again, though I may cut back just a teensie bit on the mayo. AMAZING recipe.

Great pasta salad - perfect for any BBQ! Pasta salads are so easy and no matter what you add to them as long as the veggies are fresh, you use a good quality dressing, and it's chilled - it'll be wonderful. So add what you like. This recipe is a great base. I used a whole bunch of cherry tomatoes that I cut in half and added some red and green pepper along with the rest of the ingredients. For the "dressing" I added a little dried Italian seasoning. I also topped it with some shredded Parmesan and Romano cheeses - delicious!
