100% would make again

Popular any time of the year, this crowd-pleasing pasta salad is perfect for summer picnics. Made the day before, it has a pleasant vinaigrette dressing sparked with herbs. I set aside the Parmesan cheese and add it just before the salad is served. -Marion Lowery, Medford, Oregon

As a change from the regular pasta salad, this one is really good! I get asked to make this often! It's a keeper!

One thing though...in the original recipe in the taste of home cookbook 2001 it calls for 1/4 cup vinegar. 1/2 would be too much.

This is delicious! Everyone compliments me on this dish when I make it and I make it often for family and friend get togethers.
