  1. This got rave reviews from a wedding shower group.Double the amount of mozzarella and definitely use the fresh or buffalo mozzarella it makes all the difference. The dressing is soooooo flavorful. I made extra maybe like one and a half times the amount called for in the recipe and used it all in the salad.
     
  2. I like this pasta salad. It's easy to make and delicious. I added some extra garlic to the dressing and sprinkled some toasted pine nuts over the pasta salad. Will definitely repeat this one. Thanks for another great recipe Yogi!
     
  3. Great Pasta Salad, but a lot of work to make in the kitchen. I would allow for at least an hour on this one, this is not a time friendly recipe.
     
  4. Delicious pasta salad that accompanied a bbq dinner. Bold, Mediterranean flavours (our cup of tea). Definitely will make this one a lot.
     
  5. This was awesome! - I added a handful of pepperonu that I cut into quarters, otherwise follow recipe exactly. I may try adding more motzarella as another reviewer suggested. This is a definite keeper.
