This was just OK. Mine looked a lot like Janhke's picture. This makes a LOT (I halved the recipe and it still made oodles!!!). This doesn't lend itself well to left-overs (dries up even though I covered it - need to add add'l. oil on 2nd day). I made this for a friend and she liked it but didn't rave about it either. It is time consuming and expensive to prepare (meats, cheese and veggies are pricey and there's a lot of preparation involved - chopping, dicing, etc.). The homemade vinaigrette is yummy, and I'll probably make that again. I subbed small grape tomatoes for whole ones (some I sliced in half), omitted the red bell pepper (too pricey), subbed tri-colored rotini pasta for shells and purchased a block of salami & pepperoni (whatever was on sale) fron the deli and cubed it myself. Because I do not enjoy the firm texture of Asagio cheese I subbed cubed mozzarella instead . Be sure to use a good quality olive oil and balsamic for the vinaigrette - it really makes a difference (I think that's why I liked it so much). Thanks for the recipe!

The best pasta salad I have ever had. I used a orange and yellow bell pepper. I did not make the dressing but used a balasmic dressing I had. I used Italian pesto pasta and it all turned out great.

Very good. Sorry but I changed it up based on personal preferences. I halved the recipe. Used 1/3 lb Genoa salami, 2 oz mozzarella, 1/4 C chopped red onion, 1 whole red bell pepper, no tomatoes & kept the seasonings & such the same. We eat this all the time. Thanks.

I just made this last night and it was very tasty!!!! I didn't use salami just the peperoni and as another rater stated they used mozzarella instead of the cheese that is requested. It came out great! I can't wait to make this again for my family.

I loved this pasta salad, stuck to the recipe apart from the cheese, I used Mozzarella and Feta. It was even better the next day and I had some which I heated in the microwave. This one is a keeper.

Everyone at my party definitely loved this dish. I used mozzarella instead of asiago. I mixed all the ingredients together the night before then added the dressing the next day. the meat does stick together so definitely get thicker slices to make it easier.

I omitted the salami and asiago cheese since I did not have it. Used mozzarella instead. Great dressing, did cut back on the oil.

I've probably made this now at least 10x!! it's a HUGE hit (in fact, friends request me to bring it to parties). so figured it should comment! i've leared a few hints from making it so many times..i've now "perfected it". 1)***THIS IS BEST MADE THE NIGHT BEFORE!!***this truly is the secret! the flavors need time to develop and incorporate! 2) i use 1lb. multi-colored rotini. 3) i use 1 box cherry tomatoes halfed. 4) 1/2c. oil was too much for me!! - i cut down to 1/4 C - and like 3Tbl of zesty italian dressing. 5) i add a handfull of chopped banana peppers. 6) i add 3 green onions finely sliced. 7) POUR 1/2 the dressing on the night before - and allow to "marinate" overnight in fridge. then add the remaining dressing right before serving!

I had to use a 3-cheese blend instead of only asiago. More expensive than my usual pasta salad recipe, but tasty. Don't skip the red pepper.

This recipe was just ok - but to be fair I did make some changes that may have altered the taste. I did not use Asiago, as I didn't have it on hand. I asked for genoa salami at the deli, but they gave me hard and it was just too greasy and I didn't care for the taste (much prefer genoa).

I made this for a birthday party. HUGE hit. I changed it just a little bit. I added sun-dried tomatoes, and instead of using oregano and parsley, I just used italian seasoning, and I used hard salami instead of genoa, and I omitted the olives-personal choice. Everything else was the same and it was wonderful. I took this to my office the next day-because it does make a lot-and I had left overs for a day. It was good every time I ate it. Not oily, not dry. Just right! I think I might add some peppers this time for July 4th and see how that goes. Great choice when feeding a large group.

Way too much oregano, but other than that, just alright.
