Citrusy and cilantro-packed, this Pasta Salad with Peas and Summer Beans dish pairs well with grilled chicken or tuna. It would be equally delicious with mint, parsley or a combination of fine herbs.

I'm not a fan of summer beans, so I substituted them with black beans. The salad was still very good.

The dressing is a bit too oily for my taste. I would cut down on the olive oil next time.

This recipe was a total flop. The dressing was too acidic and the pasta was overcooked.

Not bad, but not the best pasta salad I've ever had. I think it could use a little more seasoning.
