Ugh I should have not heated this. It was much better cold. Not going to make it again. I hardly ever give negative reviews here but we did not like this. Read More

Just made this with my Dad for the family tonight. VERY simple to make and VERY tasty. Left out the olives because I don't like them but definitely an amazing light entree dish. Also I added grilled chicken and cut it in cubes and through it in the pasta dish after the pasta was warmed. Read More

Good salad I made exactly as written. It is a recipe that you can tweak to your own tastes. Next time I will use only about 10 oz of pasta with the same measurements of toppings and fresh ground black pepper on top. Overall great recipe thank you for the recipe! Read More

I made this and it had little flavor. My suggestion would be to add a dressing on the side of 2 to 1 salsa & ranch. No need to heat serve cold with dressing. Read More

It was not appealing or good. Warm avocado is not good and leftovers were terrible. Read More
