I made a number of changes based on preference, and was very pleased with the result. I used hard salami instead of pepperoni, and about 1/2 a bottle of Olive Garden italian dressing. I used bowtie pasta, and added diced cucumbers, red onion, green olives, and cherry tomatoes. I substituted shredded parmesan for the shredded mozzarella. Very good right away, and I'm sure it will improve with some time in the fridge. Thanks for a great recipe.

For more of an Italian Style Pasta Salad, I used only 12 oz of rainbow pasta, 8 oz salami, 8 oz provolone cheese, 3 oz sliced black olives, 4 oz Good Seasons Italian dressing (prepared), 3/4 of a green pepper diced and skipped the broccoli florets.

AWESOME AS IS RECIPE! I am picky about pasta salad and THIS WAS VERY GOOD! Since the original recipe, I too have played with it, added other veggies, and it ALWAYS COMES OUT GREAT!

This was the first time I've made pasta salad, and I made it for a 4th of July potluck BBQ. I was happy with the results - it looked good and almost all of it was gone by the end. I think next time I would change my dressing - I used Wishbone Italian (3/4 of a bottle, not the whole thing) and I just wasn't impressed with the dressing. Next time I'll try another - perhaps a Zesty Italian. HOwever, in spite of that, I was still pleased with the results. I also added halved cherry tomatoes and red bell peppers to perk it up a little. The pepperoni and cheese add an antipasto-like taste, which was delicious!

My picky husband really liked this, and it was super easy. I left out the olives, replacing them with banana peppers. To make the salad healthier, I used low fat Italian dressing and turkey pepperoni. It makes a large quantity. Great for pot lucks and picnics.

I'd actually give this 3 1/2 stars. I added orange bell pepper, artichoke hearts and cut pieces of string cheese. All of these added a lot to the salad. It was pretty good and I enjoyed it well enough, but I think I might keep looking for the perfect pasta salad.

If you want to be a hit at your next cook out (with only 20 minutes of easy assembly) this recipe is for you. I brought it to a Memorial Day party and the guests raved. I did not have time to refrigerate this but it was still yummy. I added carrots which is a definite must. Thank you for this recipe.

This was a big hit! Everyone was asking for the recipe. Very easy to make. If the salad dries out just add more dressing. Not too hard to figure out.

As it is, this is kind of blah and just tasted like oily noodles. I've only made pasta salad a couple times, so I'll have to figure out what changes are needed. I used the packets of Good Seasons Italian Dressing (because it's my favorite) and used about half the amount called for. I also added grape tomatoes, canned garbanzo beans (I love them) and cubed cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella, and left out the broccoli. I think I will try as others have suggested, parmesian and maybe some salt next time.

The number of stars totally depends on the dressing you use. Obvioiusly I'd go with a dressing youre familiar with and like. I didnt do much different except add chopped red and orange bell pepper for color and some artichoke hearts (only because i LOVE them). Oh and instead of shredded mozz cheese i used string cheese cut into small rounds. This salad was super easy and really good. Very refreshing.

I really enjoyed this simple yet tasty pasta salad. My 3 and 2 year old girls loved it and my husband thought it was good as well. quick and easy it is colorful and tasty! The only complaints I had were from my 5 and 7 year old girls and they didnt care for it but they are incredibly picky and dont care for pasta! Thanks for this great recipe!

This pasta salad was a big hit at the new years party I prepared it for. I don't do broccoli, so I left that out and reduced the amount of olives due to personal preference. I also added a little bit of grated parm and used zesty italian dressing instead of regular.
