This is a good basic starter recipe. It has potential to be adapted to personal tastes by adding ingredients. I mixed cheeses (shredded cheddar and mozzarella) and used a little less dressing because I dislike the oily after effects. I added Italian herbs to replace flavor that may be compromized by reducing dressing. It would be great with grilled chicken strips and cherry tomatoes added, too. Very versatile.

I make this at least once a month and we snack on it until the bowl is empty. I use diced green olives instead of black. I use carrots and peas mix and thaw it a little before mixing. I use about 4 cups of mixed shredded cheeses. Sometimes I add mushrooms for a party. This is SOOOO good!!

This was a pretty good receipe.. I did tweek it some. Instead of frozen veggies I put fresh green pepper, broccoli, and carrots. Instead of Italian dressing I put in sun-dried tomato dressing.. this makes a huge difference!! When I switched dressings it was a favorite of everybody who tasted it! If you go with fresh veggies it makes a world of a difference! I personally am not a big fan of black olives but if you get the petite diced cut you can't go wrong in this salad and it taste so much better with it!

Wonderful recipe, I LOVE IT! Only I did not add the vegetables, I just added green olives instead. This side has become a Very popular dish with my family & friends! If you let it set in the refrigerator too long you may have to add more dressing to it because the noodles really soak it up. I recommend taste testing to before serving if its been in the refrigerator to make sure it has enough dressing still! Thanks!
