Mostaccioli Veggie Salad image

I first sampled this refreshing salad at a church potluck several years ago. The mix of pasta, zucchini, summer squash, cucumber, sweet peppers and black olives is coated with a light vinaigrette. Any pasta can be substituted for the mostaccioli. -Julie Sterchi Jackson, Missouri

This is the worst salad I've ever had. The mostaccioli was mushy, the vegetables were bland, and the dressing was too oily.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I added some extra Italian dressing and some chopped walnuts, and it was much better.
