My husband LOVES this recipe!

This is the first recipe I ever tried when I discovered All Recipes, so I’ve been making it for years. I use Wish Bone’s Creamy Caesar Dressing, and their Zesty Robusto Italian Dressing. I also add some halved cherry tomatoes. It is the most requested pasta I make. Delicious!
Ashley Brown

Emily Hernandez
Delicious! I chopped up whatever veggies I had and added olives.
Michelle Hernandez
This is a great pasta salad recipe! Thank you for sharing
Jennifer Matthews
I added the ingredients it says. Not a full cup in dressings. Yeah made extra pasta 16 oz didnt seem enough.
Vincent Ward
Added mini pepperoni and small mild cheddar cubes, it was great and exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely make it again.
Joel Summers
I’ve made this wonderful tasty recipe a few times! I’ve added provolone chunks, pepperoni, zucchini chunks, basil, cherry tomatoes, and sometimes ham chunks instead of the pepperoni, to the existing recipe. It really looks pretty and it’s the first salad to disappear! Big crowd pleaser!

Fantastic Pasta Salad! I am picky about pasta salad: I don’t like it when they are too oily and vinegar-y, and I don’t like it when they are too mayonaise-y. This recipe is a perfect balance with the Italian and Caesar dressings. I read the reviews, and included yellow & orange bell peppers with the red & green (used 1/2 of each color), and a cup of cubed mozzarella. It was a big hit and everyone had seconds! I will definitely be saving this recipe for the future.

Absolutely LOVE this pasta salad. I use the tri-color pasta and it looks beautiful. I also add chopped cucumbers. My whole family LOVES it!!
Caroline Davila
This salad was a big hit with my family I have made it several times since without doing any changes but after reading all of the reviews I am going to try a few. JUST LOVED IT.

I Love Pasta and I Love this recipe. It is so easy to make and you can add other ingredients to it. I like to add broccoli and shredded cheese. I make this all the time and everyone always seems to enjoy it.

Ashley Boone
Perfectly delicious!
Sandra Barnes
It’s a super simple and delicious pasta salad. I loved it because it’s so easy to add to it and it completely changes the taste. I swapped the onion for red onion, added lots of fresh dill and some crumbled feta. Delicious! Also because the dressing is all pre-made I always buy the expensive refrigerated stuff – you can really taste the difference.

I used Newman’s Italian (full fat) and Litehouse Cesear dressing. I let the pasta sit for 6 hours before serving. My friends really like it.
