This was a hit at the Memorial Day BBQ I went to. I used all ingredients as it called for but added some red onion. I used a Robust Italian dressing and it made this dish very very tasty! Not sure why you'd omit the pimentos - that added a nice touch. Will be making again!

I made this minus the provolone, cherry tomatoes, and fusili, I added tri colored spiral, yellow, red and green peppers, broccoli, shredded mozzarella cheese and a can of petite diced tomatoes. For the dressing I used Kraft Tuscan House Italian. It was very very good. My favorite pasta salad yet.

This was really good for a quick pasta salad. It took a very short time to throw together. I did use my favorite Italian dressing though (Newman's Own Family Recipe Italian) and I wouldn't suggest it for this, as it's not a very zesty dressing. It's my favorite Italian for green salads, but it was too bland for pasta salad. I'd definitely use something more zesty next time. Since that's the only ingredient to flavor it, I think the success of this recipe is all in the dressing you use.

I have a recipe very similar to this one, however, I use red peppers instead of green, no pimentos or salami, add green onions and use Zesty Italian dressing. I save about 1/3 of the dressing to add just before serving. I then add a little parmesan cheese. Delicious!

Fabulous recipe! I substituted Kielbasa for the Salami, used fresh diced sweet red peppers and 2 finely minced fresh Jalapenos. The black olives were a condiment on the side for the people that do not care for them. The bowl was "almost" licked clean!

I make this Pasta Salad when I go on camping trips. It can be made the night before I plan to enjoy it and is a welcome meal after kayaking or other outdoor activities. It would also be good when making long trips if you don't care for fast food.

I tried this recipe this past weekend for a baby "sprinkle." I used the exact amounts listed for about 15 people and there wasn't a bite left. Everyone loved it! I omitted the pimentos & olives, and added 1/2lb of fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed. I threw in just enough dressing so the pasta didn't stick beforehand and added the rest about 1/2hr prior to serving. I used one 16oz bottle of Newman's Own Family Recipe Italian Dressing (pkg says made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil). Huge hit! I never write reviews but I felt obligated to this time!
