My husband and son detested pasta salad before I came up with this one. But there were no leftovers the very first time I served this—now it's a summertime family favorite! Filled with fresh, crunchy radishes and celery, juicy tomatoes and cucumbers, this nutritious recipe is one to try with your gang. —Melody Loyd, Parowan, Utah

This was just okay. I think I would like to try this again and double if not triple the pasta. The dressing wasn't very flavorful either.

I made this the other night, and my husband and I both loved it! I will add ham next time to make it more of a main dish. I'm getting ready to send the receipe to my children I know they'll like it too. Will definitely make this again!

Quick and easy to make, family loved it. Added ham chunks to have a full meal. Will keep this menu for hurry-up meals and church suppers.

Woohoo! Another recipe that my husband likes! This salad is perfect for hot summer days. The crunchy veggies combined with the tricolor spiral pasta has a nice texture and visual appeal. I love being able to use olive oil in the dressing. With fresh garden tomatoes, it is great! This one is going to the next potluck!

Used extra sharp cheddar cheese in place of Swiss cheese. Excellent

I haven't tried this recipe, but might. My family makes a similar salad with ham & cheddar cheese chunks, radishes, onions, carrots, celery, pepper and garlic powder (season to taste), but we put Marazetti's Southern Slaw dressing on it. If you don't like the italian, you might want to try that.

Great for the summer. I served it over some lettuce just picked from my garden. The colors are wonderful. I used just a little bit of bottled Italian dressing instead of a mix. Definitely will serve again.

I probably won't try this recipe again. We weren't crazy about the italian dressing taste.

I fixed this for dinner and my husband loved it. Normally he wouldn't eat pasta salad like this. This is definitely 5 stars

Great salad-looks and tastes fresh and delicious! I added 1 cup of diced 99% FF ham to make it a main dish salad and used 2% shredded cheddar to reduce calories and fat (FF would work well in this instance also.) Good with or w/o olives.
