This recipe is excellent.. I made it on several occasions this past summer and it was always a hit!! It is very easy to make and very impressive to bring to a cookout. I followed the recipe exactly as is and would not change a thing.... Please try this one, I don't think you will be disappointed..

This salad was absolutely delicious; its tangy, rich flavor balanced out the rest of the sides at our Fourth of July party. I left off the feta because I'm just not a fan, but I didn't feel like it was missing anything -- neither did anyone else, judging from the empty bowl at the end of the day. This is exactly what comes to mind when I think of the ideal pasta salad.
