Made this recipe for the third time and again they are delicious. They look just like your picture and taste amazing.

I marinated the pasta and olives in the salad dressing as directed. When it came time to assemble, the pasta wouldn't stay on the skewers so I tossed all the ingredients together in a bowl and served it as a salad. There was nothing left of it at the end of the meal. Very easy and very tasty! Next time I won't even attempt the kabobs. I'll just go straight for the salad version.

These are so easy to make and also very attractive on a platter/table of appetizers. Closer to the holidays, I use the green and red tortellini. The hardest part is finding the sticks to put them on -- mine would not fit on toothpicks. :-) I did find short skewer sticks and now keep them on hand for when I want to make these.

I served these at a party last weekend. I have been asked for the recipe by a number of people. The thing I loved was the ease in making these.
