This is the best pasta salad. I used rotini pasta and this recipe has been requested multiple times and everyone wants me to make it and bring it to parties. I'm almost sick of making it! Thanks!

Tasty and colorful! I used the angel hair pasta, halved a pint of cherry tomatoes, omitted the green pepper because my yellow pepper was very large, used red onion and added 1/2 lb crumbled feta and sprinkled on about 3 Tbsp of McCormick Salad Supreme... added everything else the same as the recipe called for. I had a little bit of dressing left over that I didn't have to use; I felt the salad would've been too saturated in dressing if I used the entire amount called for in the recipe. I marinated the salad in about a little over half of the dressing overnight then added a small amount prior to serving. I will definitely make this again; I made this for a family picnic and it was enjoyed. I would like to try it with corkscrew/rotini pasta next time. Thanks for posting!
