Not Just Another Pasta Salad image

Truly, a different, delicious pasta salad. So yummy I have had guests make a meal out of it. It is easily doubled to feed a large crowd. Wonderful served as a lunch with crusty bread.

I didn't like this pasta salad at all. The dressing was too oily and the veggies were mushy.

This pasta salad is okay. The dressing is a little too tangy for my taste and the veggies are a bit bland.
