Very good, the salad has a wonderful taste. Made just the vinaigrette again today for our regular side salad. Both are great.

I messed up the dressing after trying to adjust the recipe to 40 servings. Way too much for my food processor and I was running out of time and patience, so I used bottled sun-dried tomato vinaigrette, which worked very well. I used the tri-color tortellini, red and yellow peppers, genoa salami and pepperoni. It looked amazing, so bright and colorful-great presentation for my graduation party! Oh, and it actually tasted great, too!!

This was excellent. There were a ton of ingredients, but it came out very well, and we all loved it, including my very picky wife. This is DEFINITELY a keeper.

This recipe is outstanding. I made a lot of unintentional substitutions to use what I had on hand so I wouldn't have to go to the grocery store. I didn't have tomato paste, so I just omitted it. I subbed shredded mozzarella for the provolone, 1 beefsteak tomato for the 3 roma tomatoes, spinach and cheese tortellini for the rainbow tortellini, pepperoni for the salami, orange bell pepper for the red, and dried herbs for the fresh (I just used about 1/2 as much, maybe less). I completely forgot the lemon juice, even though it was right on the counter in front of me. LOL! I do think that this recipe makes too much vinaigrette--I only used half, and it was plenty to coat the salad and provide excellent flavor. It would be good for regular salad, too, so I put the rest in the fridge to use later, but I would halve it next time. I didn't add salt and pepper to the final product, although I did add some to the vinaigrette. I don't think you need much salt and pepper if at all--plenty of other flavors going on in this salad!

What a great recipe! I was scared and overwhelmed because of all the ingredients; however this was very easy to make! I used balsamic instead of red wine. I also added broccoli, cauliflower, green & yellow peppers and red onions. Since then, I have been making the vinaigrette and using it on regular salads. I definitely recommend this recipe! Thanks so much Nicole!!!

This salad is very easy to make and was a big hit. I omitted the fresh rosemary, and used more honey b/c the vinaigrette tasted to tart for me. I will make this salad again but I would woulnd't use red wine vinegar, only balsamic and I would add more garlic. This salad would make a wonderful main dish, served w/ fresh bread!

Tasty salad. Different with the tomato based dressing, but use fresh and good ingrediants and serve with fresh bread. Yum...

This is an awesome pasta salad and pretty easy to make, despite all the ingredients. The only thing is that the pasta is listed twice in the recipe, so the Allrecipes shopping list will be wrong.

Don't be turned off by all the ingredients. You probably have them all in your kitchen. Quite easy to prepare. Need mini food chopper or food processor. Delicious!

I love this salad!

Excellent salad, we like this as our main dish and some fresh baked bread on the side. Thank you for the recipe.
