What a lovely light dish for summer! I think the only thing that would be better would be adding a bit more veggies, maybe some fresh bell peppers, or cucumbers. I would like to add some fresh onion, too, but then I would be the only one eating it! LOL Thank you so much for posting. Made for ZWT5, for the Groovy GastroGnomes.

We all liked this salad. It's very fresh and light and went perfect with food on the grill tonight. I used fresh basil too, just because I love basil, thanks for sharing this! Made for the Rail Riding Rowdies ZWT5.

Awesome!! This was so good we couldn't stop eating it I used fresh basil because I had some on hand but i'll bet it would be great with dry basil. It will be a staple in our house for busy evenings because it was so easy that it all came together within the time it took to cook the pasta. Made for Ali Baba's Babes for ZWT5 - and will make again soon. Thanks bmcnichol!
