I would love to try this recipe with vegetable rotini pasta to give it that extra flavor... but it is a very delicious dish....

This pasta salad is my favorite. The recipe was easy to follow. I used the Caesar & creamy Italian dressing, Parmesan cheese and added brocolli florets. I did not add peppers or onions. It has great flavor! Quick easy side dish for feeding the family during the week.

It was one of the best pasta salads I've ever had and I didn't and won't change a thing about this recipe!

My husband loved this, I did a little less so, but that may have to do with pregnancy nausea. I added black olives, a bit of chicken (for the husband) and chopped avocado. The avocado really did it for me.

The only change I made is I used Krafts lite ceasar dressing. This was a very good recipe. I will be making it again.

this was a huge hit... I didn't have mozarella cubes so I just added shredded mozarella, black olives, red peppers and green peppers and omitted the red onions...delicious!!

I love this recipe. We have a big family, and I am always cooking for a crowd. This goes together in a snap, and because the key ingredients (of grated cheese and both dressings) are all equal quantities, it is easy to make a huge bowl or a small bowl without any major calculations. As long as I put the same quantity of each in, the recipe comes out perfectly. Once I have the pasta, cheese and dressings together, I use whatever produce looks best at the store--not just bell peppers. Sometimes I use cherry tomatoes or a can of drained, chopped artichokes which is wonderful. (BTW, I make it with the Dreamfields low carb pasta, and no one knows the difference.) My much beloved nieces crave this recipe. Once, when I sent the leftover salad home with my niece, her dad ate it out of the fridge. She had a complete melt-down, laying on the floor, sobbing (20 years old!) I'm sure it was hormones, but I like to think it was my salad.

I had planned on making my own dressing but.....I ran out of time today. I used Smart Taste rotini, Newman's Creamy Caesar and Newman's Family Italian dressings. I did use all red pepper (we don't care for green pepper) and I threw in one chopped zucchini and two chopped tomatoes. I only used part of a red onion because that's all I had. This was an easy recipe for me to make to go along side a less healthy choice (kosher hot dogs) that I could throw added vegetables I had on hand plus it was economical for me (we're on a tight budget for a while) as well. This would be a great summer salad with cubed cheese and salami.

Tastes better the next day. I use about 3/4 the dressing when mixing and then add more as needed before serving and usually add chopped pepperoni. Spring onions are a wonderful substitute for the red onion.
