Would it be wrong to drink the vinaigrette? That is how good it is. The flavor combinations are amazing. I made the recipe as written and it turned out perfectly. Thanks for a great receipe. No leftovers....raves from family.

I've made this twice now and to rave reviews. It really helps to let the dressing sit for 30 minutes. When you taste it at first, it tastes kind of funny, but after 30 minutes — it's delish!! I used Angel Hair pasta. I tried it first with Spaghettini and the noodles were too thick. I also added cucumber, and Italian Parsley. I didn't use the Cilantro the 2nd time, because I found it gave the dressing a bit of a bitter taste, but that's me.

i love this! 5 stars aren't enough in my book. the combination of the flavors was excellant. initially this recipe looks like a lot of ingredients and some prep., but it was really easy. this is a definate keeper, i love pasta, peanut butter, and cilantro....if you do too you can't go wrong with this recipe.

This was a very good pasta salad, we added matchstick carrots, increased to three serrano peppers and added some red pepper. Myabe it was because we used rice noodles but this dish was MUCH better after a night in the fridge. Next time around I will make it one day ahead of time and double the peanut butter(love that taste!). Thanks for a great recipe, guests loved it but it was amazing at lunch the next day.

Had friends and family over this weekend for a BBQ. I made this delcious salad and it was well received. It was actually much easier to make than it at first appeared. The vinaigrette tasted divine with nice blend of flavors. Served along with platters of grilled chicken, pork tenderloin and flank steak. An excellent salad for a BBQ. Thanks Tracy.

Yum! This actually would have gotten 5 stars, but we had difficulty with figuring out how much dry pasta equals 1 lb cooked, so we ended up with way too many noodles for the sauce. It would be hugely helpful to have the quantity of noodles be either dry weight or cooked volume. However, even though it was a little underdressed, it was still VERY tasty! My only concern is that the peanuts (from the garnish) will be soggy in the leftovers tomorrow. I think in future we'll only garnish individual servings to avoid that. Thanks for posting, Tracy K!

I followed exactly step by step and the outcome awesome. This far beyond five stars. I agree, one could drink the vinaigrette and I have tried it more often than necessary. The combination of flavors is convincing. If you have some left over Spaghettis, try them with this vinaigrette and you will brim over with enthusiam for this recipe. Will stay in my cookbook forever.

What a great tasting Vinaigrette. I served on a platter and added a shreaded BBQ Chicken, poured the dressing over everything and let it soak in for 1/2 hour before serving. Hubby loved it. Thanks Tracy K.
