5 Reviews of Anne's Colourful Pasta Salad

Very interesting and tasty pasta salad! Such an unusual combination of ingredients with the addition of apples and pickles. The dressing was a bit tangy for my taste so I added just a touch of sugar. As the directions state, it's important to make the salad a couple of hours ahead so the flavors have time to blend. Thanks for posting this recipe!

    Made this up over the weekend & did one addition ~ I included the kernels of 1 grilled cob of corn, mostly 'cause I wanted the yellows, oranges & reds for summer! Other than that, the recipe was followed & it is definitely colorful (TASTY, TOO)! I didn't think I'd like it with the gherkins, but included them as well, & we were very pleased with the resulting salad! Thanks, much, for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Beverage Tag]

    An extremely tasty pasta salad, and followed this exactly. Perfection with the added ingredients, peas, carrots, gherkins, and apples. The dressing is stupendous, using yogurt and fresh herbs. I might add some chopped chives next time, however, perfection plus here! Made for Everyday is a Holiday June 2009

    I chose this recipe for the dressing because I'm always looking for alternatives to mayo for pasta salad. I made it with tricolored rotini, peas and tomatoes, plus diced red onion and green pepper--no apples, carrots or gherkins. The dressing is stupendous. I love the combination of herbs and the lemon juice plus mustard lend it a nice bite. Will definitely make again.

    horrible. Served this for a picnic and had most of it untouched! Carrots apples and peas and gherkins DO NOT go well together. I thought I would try it b/c I am open to new flavor combos but this was just awful. Sorry to be so harsh but no one liked it. I will never try something again to serve relying on the ratings - not my taste at all.
