"I made this flavorful entree salad for a first date. My boyfriend like ti so much, he took the leftovers home—and his roommates rave about it, too!" notes Christina Campeau, Simi Valley, California. "For a change of pace, substitute turkey sausage for the kielbasa," she suggests.

One of my favorites for summer. It's such a different sort of pasta salad and absolutely delicious with the basil, balsamic, and fennel seed.

This is a phenomenal salad! It looked a bit strange while cooking, so I was a bit nervous, but when I tasted the final product --WOW! A very unique taste and soooo good.
