Just wasn't what I was looking for. Too bland and not enough flavor.

We did not care for this. It was good the first day, but we found the balsamic to be a bit heavy. It was just OK.

This is a really nice alternative to the usual mayo dressing-based pasta salads. Apart from using diced red onion, I made it as written, and thought it was pretty good. There is, however, definitely room for some tweaking as noted in previous reviews - pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, a combination of cheeses etc etc, and I agree that some fresh basil would also be a nice addition. I'll be experimenting with this one for sure. Thanks!

I made this today for a party along with some other salads (including my own Italian pasta salad). This was just a bit bland tasting for me. I think it needed some flavor. I will try adding some a mix of spices to the dressing next time.I also think fresh basil is a must next time around (I had none at home). Anyhow I added a few pieces of broccoli for color and red onion instead of yellow. Thank you for sharing.

This is a great recipe! I made a few changes by adding a can of quartered artichoke hearts, some steamed broccoli using pepperoni instead of the salami, a bottled vingarette because I'm lazy, and a generous sprinkling of Italian seasoning. It was a big hit at my family barbeque this weekend.

Very good. Just a couple notes: 1. this makes a TON of salad. So consider yourself warned! 2. It's a very heavy salad, so I freshened it up with lots of (nearly) raw broccoli. It made it for me.

This is a great basic recipe - you can really make some creative modifications and it will still taste great - much better than using bottled dressing in my opinion. I left out the onion and red peppers, and added some fresh basil, oregano & parsley along with some brocoli florets - and it was great. I did decrease the olive oil by nearly 1/4 cup on the advice of others and I'm glad I did. Also, I would wait to put the cheese in until an hour or so before serving so it doesn't get slimy. Very easy to make and definitely will make again.

This recipe made me very popular at a summertime party. I still have people asking for the recipe many months later. I put some diced chicken breast on top of the leftover salad and served it as an entree.

This is one of the best pasta salads I have ever had. I use turkey pepperoni instead of the salami to cut back on a few calories. I use an Italian seasoning packet mixed with olive oil for more flavor. I also use fresh basil. Terrific recipe.

This was wonderful, a bit like an antipasto in salad form, but healthier. I added some fresh basil and peas from the garden, but it would have tasted great without it. Much fresher tasting than the bottled dressing kind of salad. Note that the balsamic vinegar turns the salad a little dark, which we didn't mind but you can use white balsamic if concerned.

This is very good. The only thing that prevented me from giving it 5 stars was that I added to the basic recipe. My suggestions: add something green to the mix, I added broccoli flowerets, I also found the dressing a bit plain, so I added more garlic, a few dashes of Tabasco sauce, basil and pepper. Last note, this makes way more than 6 servings.

I made this for my sister's baby shower and it was a big hit. Many people asked me for the recipe. We made it all the night before, except added the cheese chunks in the morning so they wouldn't get slimy. It was a winner!

This recipe was delicious. It served a crowd as a side dish at a picnic. I used less oil as someone else had suggested. I think it could use a little more "zip". More pepper next time. A keeper.
