Italian Herb Pasta Salad image

This is a pasta salad that is easy to make, and great for gatherings, very tasty! I found it in a Betty Crocker recipe book. My husband and I don't like onions, so I replaced it with a little bit of shredded carrots for color. Also I used creamy Italian dressing, and it was delicious.

I'm not a big fan of pasta salad, but this one was really good. The dressing was light and flavorful, and the vegetables were crisp and fresh.

I tried this recipe and it turned out great! The only thing I changed was that I used a different type of pasta. I also added some grilled chicken to make it a more complete meal.
