I made this to take to my aunt's house for dinner on Friday evening. I made double the recipe and this dish was gone in 30 minutes. I did modify the recipe a little. I added a little distilled vinegar and a little more italian dressing. I also added celery salt, sugar, seasoning salt, onion powder, dried basil, and used finely shredded parmesan cheese instead of cheddar cheese. I also broke the noodles in thirds so it would be easier to stir up and used tongs to serve it. It took me quite a while to mix all the ingredients together because I was making so much. I just wanted to make sure everything was mixed up and every noodle had flavor in it. It sat for about 6 hours and it was so good and seasoned. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this salad for our Labor Day cookout using fresh veggies from our garden. To spice it up a little more I added cut up salami and some sliced black olives and even some poppy seeds. Very delicious! Would make a great meal too!

Our extended family LOVES this cold pasta salad. However, like others, I use McCormick's Salad Supreme - to taste, and I omit the cheese. We just had this at our July 4th celebration. We've used fat-free Zesty Italian, Reduced Fat Zesty Italian, and the real deal Zesty Italian dressing. While the fat-free it OK, the real deal is all that.

This was a nice addition to our 4th of July potluck. I used red and yellow tomatoe and added black olives and parmesean cheese per previous reviewers suggestion. Skipped the raw onion, just personal preference, but added a little onion powder for taste. Thanks for your nice submission.

This was really, really yummy! I agree with other reviews and used McCormick Salad Supreme instead of italian seasoning, and I doubled the amount. I cut the recipe in half and it still made a TON of pasta that me and my boyfriend both munched on for a whole week. I also lightened things up a bit by using light zesty italian dressing and Ronzini Smart Taste Rotini pasta (180 calories per serving!) Good stuff though, nice and light!

This is a really good recipe for easy summer party fare. I made it to go alongside barbecue and everyone loved it. Several people asked for the recipe.

I tried it with both normal spaghetti and angel hair noodles, and my husband and I liked the spaghetti noodles the best. Also, the more vegetables the better! I added some broccoli to it

Made this for a summer cookout. It was good the day I made it, but FANTASTIC a couple days later. I used the parmesean cheese as others suggested instead of the cheddar cheese and I think that was an excellent choice! It was light, flavorful, and delcious! (I'm having leftovers today for lunch!)

Prepared as directed. Good points - relatively quick, easy to prepare, filling meal. So-so point - lacked something in the flavor dept. Don't know that I'd try this one again.

Good summer noodle salad. I went and bought a pepperoni and hard salami stick (the smallest ones I could find) and cut them into cubes and added it. Also, I LOVE Italian dressing but find that a TBLS of white sugar keeps the heartburn away.

Wow...I loved this recipe. The only changes I made was to use penne pasta instead of spaghetti, and feta cheese instead of cheddar. I will definitely make this again!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover cold spaghetti. I use Tuscan House Italian salad dressing by Kraft and Salad Supreme Salad Seasoning, we always make extra spaghetti so we can have this salad the next day. Wonderful cool summer supper with crusty italian bread.

This is a great recipe. For the bottle of Italian Seasoning I use McCormick Salad Supreme. It is so good when you use this! I don't do the cheese in it but use extra veggies. I'm a big fan of using cherry tomatoes (the whole crate!), and red onion! I'm hungry now!
