LOVED THIS! Doubled everything (except the dressing) and ate it for lunch and dinner for a couple of days! Definitely will be making this again and again!

My husband and I really liked this pasta salad and he's not one for pasta, and I'm usually not one for olives, but it all tasted great together. I also loved how easy it was to throw together. I ended up adding more chicken (about 1 cup total) and using reduced fat feta and reduced fat dressing and it was still very delicious!!!

I used grilled chicken and a little bit more peppers and olives than was called for.

I loved this recipe as it was easy to make and delicious! I received rave reviews at Easter dinner as it was a nice compliment to the honey-glazed ham! I did omit the chicken, however. I was also able to use the leftover ingredients to make myself a nice salad using the rest of the creamy ceaser dressing! Great stuff!

This is the best pasta salad I have had! Easy to prepare and it is VERY good. I added extra dressing and feta cheese. Made it for a birthday party and there were 4 requests for the recipe. I will be making this one many more times!JillGingras
