Originally a vegetable dish, I added pasta for family gatherings and church potlucks. Try adding sliced mushrooms and diced tomatoes before serving. — Barbara Burks, Huntsville, Alabama

This is great and easy. I used spring onions instead of red because that is what I had on hand. I also added mushrooms. I think it would be great with grilled chicken for a light meal.

I don't normally like pasta salad, but I even I enjoyed this!

Okay, folks, this is a real winner. Absolutely delicious and very easy to prepare. I made the veggie part and put in the fridge overnight and finished with the pasta and dressing the next day. Thumbs up and five stars for this little gem. It is definitely going to a pot luck with me.
