This is the best pasta salad I've ever had!!! I quadrupled the recipe for a church potluck and was so glad there was some left over... I've been eating it all day long! I don't like basil so I left it out, and I highly recommend using those tiny sweet tomatoes (cherub or santa sweets) as well as a mixture of yellow and orange bell peppers. I will be making this again soon!

Good pasta salad. Next time I'd add a little something extra, just not sure what. But quite good as is.

I am not a huge pasta salad fan. I was looking for a recipe for my nephew that was basic, but good... you know how picky kids are. It turns out that I LOVED this recipe. In fact everyone at the picnic did. It was a sensation and my picky nephew who barely eats, had four servings.

Good Pasta, easy to make. Will make again but will try to find something more striking before I do. I feel it had way to much basil in it. But if you like basil you will love this recipe. Thank you for the good recipe.

This was delicious! I didn't have any red wine vinegar and so I substituted it with Balsamic. I've made it both ways now and I enjoyed the Balsamic one more but both were delicious. My Mom who doesn't like Pasta Salad enjoyed this very much and now she makes it for BBQ's all the time.

Every single time I make this, I get requests for the recipe. I love it because it takes a second to make and there is no meat involved. So there is no defrosting and cooking, chopping etc.

I have been making this salad for several years now I can't believe that I have not done a review on it. This salad is wonderful. Great for picnics and potlucks. I know that the dressing sounds like a lot, but don't cut back on it. This salad really does need to sit in the fridge overnight before it is served. The pasta absorbs a lot of the dressing and the flavors really marry when the salad is prepared and well chilled ahead of time. Use whatever vegies you have on hand. Seeded Roma tomatoes are great in the salad and they hold up well. I usually double the amount of fresh basil the recipe calls for. Always get absolute rave reviews whenever I make this salad.

This is a great recipe for a mayonaise based dressing. I have made this salad many times to rave reviews and as far as veggies I always use what I have on hand. Today I made it with a can of diced olives, a can of artichoke hearts, tomatoes and a cucumber. D-lish!

If you prefer a more Italian dressing-based pasta salad, this may not be for you. I really enjoyed it, but my family prefers a less creamy pasta salad, which is why I gave it a 3 star rating.

Great base recipe...although I made several alterations. I cut the mayo down to about 1/8 cup, as we're not huge fans of anything overly creamy. I also soaked raw, red onions in a 1/4 cup of sherry vinegar, which was added to the pasta mixture, along with blanched asparagus & broccoli, goat cheese, pan fried prosciutto, cherry tomatoes, and olives. Wonderful!

Very simple but very flavourful. I loved it. You can add any veggie you have in the house to it. I added cucumbers because I had them. I would definitely make this again. It was delicious. Great with my spicy turkey burgers!

Yum! After our pastor's wife made a similar salad for a church luncheon, I decided to investigate recipes using red wine vinegar. This turned out perfectly. I did add some small slices of pepperoni and Genoa salami, which made it even better. I plan to use this recipe next weekend for a family party. My 14 year-old picky eater gives it a two thumbs up....so everyone else is bound to love it, too!

As written there is way too much mayo. I was hoping by the next day it would get soaked up a little into the pasta but that was not the case. If I would make again, the mayo would get cut down by a lot.

This was really good - my family liked it a lot. Although, I thought it needed a bit more dressing - it soaks in quite a bit over time and becomes somewhat dry. I also added a pinch of sugar to it. Other than that, it's a great salad - so fresh tasting. Perfect summer dish.

This recipe calls for A LOT of mayonnaise. I made about 4 cups of rotini and made the dressing with 3/4 of a cup of mayo and it was overload. I added in tons of fresh veggies and boiled some more pasta (probably around 1-2 cups). I found it to be a nice twist to a traditional macaroni salad with a bit of adjusting.

This is a delicious pasta salad. The ingredients go so well together. I followed the recipe exactly except I didn't have olives. Really nice flavor and keeps well- great for making for lunch throughout the week. I used an entire box of pasta and there definitely wasn't too much mayo.
