Wonderful! My husband hates broccoli normally but loves italian dressing -- but this dish even had him wanting seconds.

I loved this dish. There's not much to it, which is a positive for me. I used whole wheat pasta, organic italian dressing, and tons of veggies. I feel so healthy and it's so tasty too.

This was a really great recipe. I did not use spaghetti, I used Cavatappi pasta instead, as I think long noodles and oil dressing is a recipe for a stained shirt!

This was great. I get a lot of compliments when I make this. Next time I might add some zucchini.My fave dressing is Wishbone Italian. I omitted the red onion as I just don't like them but I added a little vidalia onion, finely choppped. Our local grocery store makes a really good spaghetti salad and this is very close.

I love pasta salads and this is very good but I thought a pound of pasta was too much. I used a half pound of linguine instead. Everything blended beautifully.

Ok, this salad is WONDERFUL! Ever since making it for the first time (at my wedding reception) I have been asked to bring it to every gathering. I have changed it a little for the taste buds in my house. I omit the poppy seeds and sesame seeds and I use whole wheat thin noodles, fat free italian dressing, cherry tomatoes (they don't get everything else tomato tasting) and I add whole black olives. Natalie, thank you for bringing such a wonderful addition to my recipie box!

This certainly had a great combination of ingredients. It was nicely seasoned, light, and refreshing. I liked it a lot--better than other pasta salads I've made. The boys just thought it was okay, though, so I'm not sure how often I'll make it...but I'm glad I tried it.

This was so good. I mixed everything while I waited for the pasta to cook and I could have ate the whole thing even without the pasta. I did wait though and am glad I did. Thanks for sharing.

i scaled this recipe down for a 4 person serve to have for lunch for myself and my partner. i made it early midmorning and it was good by lunchtime. i used french dressing instead but it still turned out nice. i added more parmisan, cayenne and paprika because i really like parmisan, and the paprika balanced it out nicely. i will definately be making this for a group next time. cheers.

I doubled this recipe and took it to a birthday party. The dad ate about 4 helpings. I then told them I'd leave the left overs. It did take a while to chop all the vegetables, I added green pepper because the store was out of red and I forgot to add the tomato. Which was perfect because the mom does like them at all. I refrigerated this overnight and added a little extra italian dressing 1/2 hour before serving. Doubling doesn't really require 2 full bottles of dressing. Save it to zest it up right before serving. I'm making it again this weekend and I'm adding the red pepper and tomato.

This is excellent and a nice change from "regular" pasta salad. Made it for my coworkers and was asked for the recipe many times. Will definitely make again.

I've notice this and it sounds delicious, I just wanted to add that instead of spaghetti...it would be interesting to use linguine and maybe even add Salad Supreme...it's flavorful.

Easy and fast. I omitted the peppers, changed grated Parmesan cheese to 2 tbls, reduced salt to 1 tsp., added 1/4 tsp. garlic salt & 1/2 tsp. celery seed, used "1 1/2 cups" chopped broccoli and used Zesty Italian dressing. Delicious:)
