I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-based pasta salads, but this one is an exception. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the vegetables add a nice crunch.

I was really excited to try this pasta salad, but I was disappointed. The dressing was too oily and the vegetables were overcooked.

I made this pasta salad for a party and it was a total flop. The dressing was too vinegary and the vegetables were bland.
