I made this pasta salad for my wife and daughters: Great & Simple. I seeded roma tomatoes as well as peeled/seeded the cucumbers. I'd recommend adding a fistful of black olives. Original feeds twelve ,but for my family of four it means leftovers better than the original:)

This was a hit at a pot luck. I used halved cherry tomatoes and the colorful tri color rotini. Very good!

super easy and extremely good. I made this for a family party and everyone raved about it. there was only a little tiny bit left by time the party was over. the only change i made to the original recipe is that i used grated parmesian/romano cheese as thats what i had on hand.

Good and simple - I didn't have quite enough tomatoes so I added green pepper and black olives. Perfect!

Lovely pasta salad. I made this with Tex-Mex Burgers with Cajun Mayo (also on this site). The two complimented each other nicely. Everyone loved it.

Left out the cucumbers as I didn't have any and not sure I would've like them anyway. Pretty easy to make. It was pretty good when recently made. I only left it in the fridge a couple of hours. I have to disagree totally that it's best when left to sit overnight, because when I had leftovers the next day, it had just soaked up all the dressing, was drier and I just didn't think was very good that way. It was good at 2 hours.

Very simple and light, yet a tasty salad. Perfect for those summer days! I added a little black pepper to mine just for the extra punch since it had a very mild taste. I also add onion powder sometimes. You can add more or less salad dressing depending on your taste and you could experiment with other salad dressing flavors as well. I have to say my favorite is with Balsamic Vinagrette Salad Dressing(light). Just simple and delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

Good pasta salad. It is good if you can let it sit over night. I doctored the recipe a bit by adding tuna fish and more veggies; celery, green and red peppers, and I also left out the parmesan cheese, just not a fan. Good and easy recipe though, especially to take as your addition to a potluck BBQ.

I did a half-batch, and, as per usual, I changed the recipe according to what I had on hand. As such, I used: 8 ounces of fiori pasta (sort of a wagon wheel shape), 8 ounces of Italian dressing (I use Wishbone), 1 large tomato, a couple thin slices of yellow onion (diced very fine), maybe 12 or 15 baby carrots (julienned into medium-ish pieces), one large can of black olives (sliced in half), 2 or 3 ounces of grated Parmesan (the Kraft stuff) and 1½ tsp Italian seasoning. It tasted great as soon as I finished it, but I think it'll suck the dressing up as it chills. I'll just add some extra Italian dressing if needed when I serve it in five hours. Thanks for sharing, Katzen! I look forward to trying it when I have some extra cukes!

I have gotten some RAVE reviews making this salad. Only gave it four stars because I did make some modifications. I used the cherry tomatoes and just cut them in half. I used one cucumber and added one green pepper. I didn't have the italian seasoning so I bought a packet of Italian dressing mix (zesty) and added that in along with the bottle of prepared dressing. I also added some jumbo olives that I sliced. Everyone just LOVED it and I think a big part of it was the "kick" that the zesty dressing packet added. I am now asked to bring it to every family event. My 2 year old can't eat enough of it when I make it!!

This looked beautiful! I sliced some black olives and added them to the salad and I halved some grape tomatoes. Those were the only changes I made and the family loved it!

I was surprised I liked this so much. I don't really care for italian dressing and the ingredients seemed so simple I was expecting it to taste like every other pasta salad I've had. It really had a good flavor. I cut the recipe in half and still had some leftover. I used Good Seasons dressing (the one you make yourself) and added some black olives, celery and chick peas. I will certainly make this again.

I cooked pasta and tossed with Italian dressing and chilled overnight. 2 hours before serving I folded into pasta all ingredients. I used small grape tomatoes and sliced green onions plus feta cheese and pitted kalamata olives.
