As is three stars == too sweet! I'd omit the sugar and toss the broccoli in with the pasta about three minutes before done to "shock" the broccoli so it keeps its crunch and bright green color -- five stars. Also good if you substitute the green onions with diced sweet or red onions. For a full meal I add leftover cooked chicken or ham.
I was so skeptical about this dressing. The sugar with the Parmesan seemed like it couldn't be good. As I was putting it on the salad I was scared I was going to end up wasting all those great ingredients. Wow. Was I wrong! It was phenomenal. My husband and son raved about it and they're not ones to rave. Later in the night when they usually snack on cereal or sandwiches they both had bowls of the leftovers from this instead. And they don't touch leftovers! It's nothing short of a miracle.
Tried this salad yesterday as I had all of the ingredients on hand. Absolutely delicious. Made as directed. Cannot wait to make it for a family get together! Thank you for the great recipe!
I would give this a 10 star if I could. This by far is the best pasta salad I ever had. I too was skeptical about sugar being in a pasta salad but that is what makes this so unique. My family is very picky and normally won't even eat macaroni or pasta salads and they woofed it all down. Next time I will make a double batch so I can have some leftovers. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Wow - delicious! My family really liked this salad which I served with sazitza (italian sausage) made out on our grill. The only (slight) change I made to the recipe was that I substituted yellow pepper for red because I didn't have any red. SO GOOD!
This is the best pasta salad I have ever made or tasted. Made no changes to the recipe. It was so good I made it again the next day for a pot luck dinner at church. So many requests for this recipe! Thank you!
Colourful and tasty! I have been making the same pasta salad recipe for years (the one on the mayonnaise jar) so was a little skeptical. But this one is fantastic - and it stays creamy the next day. Best of all my husband who has always merely tolerated pasta salads LOVES this!
Excellent tasting salad. Had all the ingredients on hand. Goes well with grilled meats or as a main meal. This would also be good with salami or other meats added.
Absolutely wonderful! I made this pasta salad for a family picnic and everyone loved it. I did not make any changes.
Try poppy Drsg instead. This was very bland
