Like the revious reviewers, I often find pasta salad rather flavorless. This one was terrific!! This is a fresh and flavorful recipe. A definite keeper! Thanks!

We loved this. I find that pasta salad can be kind of "whimpy", so unlike some other reviewers who found it too tangy, I found it full of flavour. Actually, I found this recipe on Epicurious and came looking for it here so I could review it (my personal way of saving my absolute favourite recipes). When I made it I actually also added basil and parsley from the garden!!! Great minds think alike, I guess. Anyway, Chia, thanks so much for posting it so I will always be able to find it. Terrific recipe.

I'd give this recipe 10 stars if I could. I substituted baby spinach for the basil and it was EXCELLENT. Thanks

Delicious! I prepared exactly as directed, only reducing the red pepper to 3/4 cup. The addition of the basil and parsley gave the salad just the touch of green it was begging for! Delightful salad, just right for serving on those hot summer days ahead. Thanks, Chia!
