I followed the recipe exactly and my pasta salad turned out really dry. I think I needed to add more dressing.

This pasta salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this pasta salad. The dressing is so good that it really masks the taste of the spinach.
