Italian Pasta Veggie Salad

Fantastic! I Used noodles & veggies I had & Adjusted amount of Italian dressing. Thanks

I love a good pasta salad. I’m a low calorie eater, so instead of the Italian dressing, I used Walden Farms zero calorie dressing. It reduced the calories to 143 per 6 oz serving.

Made NO changes but might NEXT time.

I am not a fan of raw onions, but I cut them in really small pieces and this was a big hit. Thanks

I added fresh peas and bacon. I will make it again its a great dish to make ahead and have for lunches or a quick dinner on a hot night.

Due to the family being picky, I had to change this a tad. Used a can of sliced olives (drained), cut up a pint of grape tomatoes, used tri-color pasta for more color, and added more dressing. Kidos like Parmesan cheese on top. Yummy.

I make this a lot during the warm months

I have been making a similar salad all my cooking years (55). I add a can of small black pitted olives, cut in half, a can of chick peas and sometimes sharp cheddar diced into small cubes. You can also add Feta cheese and sun dried tomatoes. It is unbelievably delicious and quite pretty to look at when put on the table for a bbq party. Not to mention…..healthy. (I use whole wheat rotelle pasta)

I have never cared for pasta salad but decided to give it another try as it’s really popular at every family gathering. I wasn’t disappointed by this recipe. It’s simple, fast, and tasty. If you plan on eating this over the course of a few days, you may want to have some extra dressing on hand as the pasta and vegetables will absorb it and the salad may become a bit dry. It all depends on your preferences and how well you store it. For extra fun, use some of the coloured pastas! They taste the same but make for a much more colourful dish.

I omitted the onion and mushrooms and used a red bell pepper, black olives and pepperoni!

i have the family on a diet, so i was looking for a healthy side to go with veggie burgers this was so good!!! we loved it, i am making again in a few weeks to add to my daughters baby shower menu!!! thanks

I added cucumbers.

Tasty! I added carrots and omitted the onion. Thanks 🙂

Took it to a potluck and my co workers loved it. This recipe is soooo easy to make. I love it.

Oh man, my family loved it. My husband doesn’t like mushrooms but he picked them out and gave them to me. More for me 🙂 This was a reat salad and it was great for a hot night after refrigerating all day. aahhh its been a long time since I’ve had a good salad.

Love the kind of noodles the recipe calls for. I especially enjoyed the flexibility this recipe allows. We don’t like mushrooms so I simply added some extra vegetables of different kinds. This is an excellent dish to serve to any kinds of friends; if they are vegetarians, on a diet, or omnivores! Changes I made: a Greek dressing (still fat-free) for a different flavor; pepperoni for my little sister; chicken when I served as a main dish (I wouldn’t recommend adding both pepperoni and chicken together; these are all tips from different meals.)All in all, this is an excellent recipe!

We did eat this for days. I took it to a cook out and it was devoured, but there was still plenty left. This was my first time making a pasta salad and this was easy. Definitely a good recipe.

My family has made this recipe for years… we add Salad Supreme to it and its delish!!

I really like this fresh, easy recipe. I had to add a little more dressing because it was a little too dry to start with. I also sometimes add a few chunks of cheddar cheese and salami–yum!

This is pretty close to something I make myself. I omit the peppers and onions and add cucumbers, black olives, and Italian salami that has been sliced and quartered. You can also add shredded cheese of your choice for extra flavor.

NICE LIGHT SIDE DISH. PERFECT FOR THE SUMMER!
